The UFC’s month on Fight Island closed with a compelling scrap between former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and Darren Till, which Whittaker won by unanimous decision.
Once again, though, a UFC newcomer stole the show. Khamzat Chimaev opened the main card with a spectacular first-round victory over Rhys McKee, earning him his second win in 10 days in Abu Dhabi. It’s the shortest period of time in which any UFC fighter has won two fights in the modern era.
And UFC president Dana White told Yahoo Sports that Chimaev will be back on Aug. 15 at UFC 252 in Las Vegas.
