Tofiq Musayev

Earlier tonight at UFC Belgrade, lightweight Ludovit Klein locked horns with Tofiq Musayev.

As the three-round contest between two of the most technical 155-pound strikers commenced, Musayev backed Klein up against the octagon and continuously chopped his lead leg. He also hurt “Mr. Highlight” with knees to the midsection. Klein tried to control the center of the octagon in the second half of the first frame but failed to find success.

Early in Round 2, Ludovit Klein shot for a takedown, but Tofiq Musayaev stuffed it with ease, after which both fighters decided to stand and bang. Klein started to control the pace but failed to find his rhythm and land anything significant. Meanwhile, Musayaev walked him down while landing crisp combinations at will.
