Damir Ismagulov showed why he’s one of the best lightweights in the world not signed to the UFC with a vicious highlight-reel knockout on Saturday at Alash Pride FC 100. Ismagulov (26-3), who won five of seven fights under the UFC banner before departing the organization with back-to-back losses in July 2023, delivered a spectacular spinning wheel kick knockout on Oberdan Tenorio (36-16-1), who leaned directly into the fight-ending shot in the opening round of the headlining bout in Aktobe, Kazakhstan.
