Video: Former UFC title challenger Ali Bagautinov KO’d at the bell after dominating

Ali Bagautinov was one of many top ranked contenders that the UFC allowed to walk to other promotions during free agency. The former #7 ranked flyweight in the world went back to Russia in his first bout outside the UFC.

Bagautinov took on WSOF vet Tyson Nam in Fight Nights Global 64, and he was handily winning for about 14 minutes and 59 seconds of their bout. That’s until this happened.

With mere seconds left in their contest, Bagautinov threw an ill advised front kick that missed. Nam immediately countered with a beautiful head kick that put the former UFC star out as the bell rang.
