Easy win in late-notice debut
Bekoev defeated Zachary Reese via KO (punches) at 3:04 of Round 1 at UFC 311 on Saturday in Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
A former LFA standout, Bekoev accepted this fight earlier in the week following the withdrawal of Sedriques Dumas and proceeded to dominate from start to finish. Facing a highly aggressive opponent in Reese, Bekoev picked up an early takedown before scoring the increasingly rare knockout from top position. The UFC's middleweight division needs all the depth it can find, and if this debut performance is any indication of what to expect moving forward, Bekoev looks like a solid addition to the 185-pound ranks.
