Gallery Islam Makhachev def. Davi Ramos at UFC 242: Best photos view 14 images Dagestani ace Islam Makhachev returned to action with a dominant decision win over Davi Ramos to reassert his position as a growing threat at 155 pounds. The lightweight bout was part of the UFC 242 main card at The Arena at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. While both men headed into competition with outstanding grappling backgrounds, the first two rounds were spent in a cagey stand-up contest that saw Makhachev (18-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) fare significantly better in the striking realm. Despite Ramos’ grappling credentials, Makhachev showed he was more than happy to try to take the Brazilian to the mat as he followed up a high kick with a quick shot, which Ramos (10-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) easily shrugged off. The Dagestani star drew gasps from the crowd with a solid right-left combination that landed clean, and he looked to mix up his strikes from the outside, utilizing the occasional leg kick between stiff right jabs.
