Official Result: Shavkat Rakhmonov def. Carlston Harris via KO (spinning wheel kick & punches) at 4:10 of round one
Rakhmonov is looking incredibly calculated straight away, as he always does. He’s so well rounded, yet he’s so calm and cerebral as well. His timing is always correct, and he’s incredibly technical.
He tries taking Harris down, but Harris’ strong hips stop him from it. Harris really is a great athlete that much is evident.
Now that they’re back to striking range, Rakhmonov throws, and lands, a nasty spinning wheel kick, which drops Harris in his tracks. A few follow up punches were necessary to ensure Harris was unconscious, and there we have it. Shavkat Rakhmonov is now 15-0, and he just picked up his third straight victory, and finish in the UFC.
