Russia

The 6-foot Russian fighter will take advantages in both height and reach into the fight over the older Korean.

Easily dispatches Andre Muniz
Aliskerov defeated Andre Muniz via TKO (punches) at 4:54 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
These two were originally scheduled to fight in early-February in Saudi Arabia, at which point Muniz withdrew due to a passport issue. The two finally got it on here, and Aliskerov left zero doubt as to who was the better man. Ikram kept things standing and predictably dominated, hurting Muniz with power shots before finally managing to put him away with just seconds to go in Round 1. The 32-year-old Russian is now 3-1 in the UFC, with all three wins coming via knockout. He has two career losses in 18 pro bouts, and they came against Robert Whittaker (in the UFC) and Khamzat Chimaev (in Brave CF). Aliskerov is deserving of another step up in competition.

ANALYSIS
Muniz is reportedly dealing with passport issues, so a fight between him and Aliskerov has fallen through for a second time. The 32-year-old middleweight will now have to wait a bit longer to bounce back from his loss to Robert Whittaker in June.
