In the main event of the evening, Dagestani fighter Ikram Aliskerov suffered his first UFC defeat, losing to former champion Robert Whittaker.

— Robert Whittaker won the main fight of the evening against your fellow countryman, Ikram Aliskerov. Did you imagine yourself in a fight with Whittaker?

— I like the fighter Robert Whittaker, he is very technical. I like his fighting style. In fact, for me, stylistically, this is the most difficult option. But I am ready to fight him, because the way he hits is the way he receives. And any blow in our fight could be the last. He is a good guy, we met and talked. He came up to me, shook my hand, took a photo, said “nice to meet you”. He wished me luck before the fight, — Magomedov told Match TV.
