Rinat Fakhretdinov says decision ‘could’ve gone either way’

ABU DHABI – Many viewers were surprised at what they heard when the official decision of his fight was read Saturday, but Rinat Fakhretdinov wasn’t.

Following his unanimous decision win over Carlos Leal at UFC 308, Fakhretdinov (23-1-1 MMA, 5-0-1 UFC) voiced his disagreement with the broadcast team that the judges got it wrong.

“Why were they surprised with the decision?” Fakhretdinov said to MMA Junkie and other reporters at his UFC 308 post-fight news conference. “… Really bad commentators. … First round was pretty close. It could’ve gone either way. I didn’t have any doubt the second or third round was mine. After your words, people will say again the Arabs bought the decision.”

According to MMA Decisions, 100 percent of voting media members scored the fight for Leal with more than 75 percent of viewers also scoring the fight for the Brazilian.

The court of public opinion is meaningless when it comes to the victory added to his win column. Fakhretdinov now rides a 23-fight unbeaten streak, the current longest in the promotion. Fakhretdinov thinks he’s ready for the best of the welterweight division and is eagerly awaiting the next call.

“It doesn’t matter,” Fakhretdinov said. “Anyone from the top 15, top 10, if you put in front of me will be the same. I will get the win. Maybe it’s not going to be easy. It’s going to be a hard win, but I’m going to win. … Even the day after tomorrow I can fight for the title if you give me the chance.”

Shara Bullet explains one-of-a-kind double backfist knockout, Israel Adesanya callout

Shara Bullet explains one-of-a-kind double backfist knockout, Israel Adesanya callout

For “Shara Bullet,” practice makes perfect.

Shara Magomedov didn’t just improve his UFC record to 4-0 on Saturday, he executed a never-before-seen finish when he knocked out Armen Petrosyan with back-to-back spinning backfists in the UFC 308 main card opener.

It was the biggest moment of Magomedov’s brief run with the promotion and he elaborated on the career-best performance at the evening’s post-fight press conference.

“I used to practice this technique since my career in Muay Thai,” Magomedov said via a Russian translator. “In MMA, I was unable to throw it because I know people are going to wrestle me, but this time I fought a high-level striker and it became a chess match and I was able to surprise him in this chess match.”

Magomedov’s UFC victories now include Petrosyan, Michal Oleksiejczuk, Antonio Trocoli, and Bruno Silva. Overall, he is 15-0, with 12 of those wins coming by way of knockout.

In his post-fight interview, Magomedov declared himself the best striker in the middleweight division and called for a fight with two-time UFC champion Israel Adesanya. According to Magomedov, his pursuit of Adesanya dates back to their kickboxing days.

“I used to chase Israel Adesanya when he fought kickboxing in China and I was fighting kickboxing in China, too,” Magomedov said. “Now that he’s switched to MMA and now that I’m here, I’m ready to capture all the land. I’m ready to fight him and if the possibility presents itself, I’m ready to fight him in Macau, Saudi Arabia, it doesn’t matter.”

“I’m in no rush, I’m not driving in front of the train, you know?” Magomedov later added. “The only way for Israel Adesanya to avoid the fight with me is to retire.”

When the UFC updates its rankings Tuesday, there’s an outside shot the undefeated Magomedov ends up with a number next to his name. If he doesn’t, he has a few names in mind to keep climbing the list should the Adesanya bout fail to materialize.

“Of course, I would like to fight Israel Adesanya to prove that I’m the best striker in the division,” Magomedov said. “Also, I would like to fight Marvin Vettori to prove that my wrestling is good. Those two names really excite me. Besides them, guys like Kevin Holland, Michel Pereira. Our middleweight division is full of predators and sharks, but pirates, there’s only one: it’s me.”

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Max Holloway after UFC 308 title-fight loss?)

Ilia Topuria backed up all his talk prior to UFC 308 when he went into the octagon and became the first man to knock out Max Holloway.

After taking the belt from Alexander Volkanovski in February, Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) took out another all-time great featherweight in his first defense when he put down Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC) with punches in the third round of the headlining contest at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

Topuria is still just 27, but already he has put himself on the map with a remarkable career inside the octagon, and if his words remain true going forward, this is only just the start of what could be a special run.

What’s next for Topuria in his second defense at 145 pounds? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC 308.

Alexander Volkanovski impressed by Ilia Topuria, eyes rematch

Alexander Volkanovski impressed by Ilia Topuria, eyes rematch

Alexander Volkanovski calls next.

Minutes after UFC 308‘s main event Saturday saw Ilia Topuria become the first to knock out Max Holloway, the previous featherweight titleholder was in the cage.

Volkanovski (26-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) said the idea to be seen next to the freshly victorious Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) was all his. He wanted the world to know who is the next 145-pound title challenger.

“I told the UFC I wanted to go in,” Volkanovski told ESPN. “They let me do that, so I appreciate that. Dana (White), Hunter (Campbell), thank you. At the same time, he goes, ‘I want to let him (have his moment. I’ll give him his moment. I’ll be respectful because his family is in there.’ I’m like, ‘Mate, I’ve been respectful. I’ve been getting along. I’ve been hugging his family the whole time. We’re good. I’m going to go in there, give him his moment, but at the same time let everyone know what we’re doing, just build that fight up a little bit, just enough to let everyone know I’m next. But at the same time, give him his respect.’”

With the UFC headed to Sydney in February and potentially debuting in Spain later in 2025, it’s unclear where the promotion will place this rematch. Whether it’s home soil or enemy territory, you can count Volkanovski in.

“I’d love it,” Volkanovski said. “They’re talking about Madrid, the stadium and all that. Of course. Everyone knows I don’t mind being in enemy territories. I think I’ll be well-loved anyway, maybe. I don’t know. I’m sure I’ll probably still get booed. At the same time, he deserves to fight where he wants to. It’s just the timing.”

According to comments made by Dana White after UFC 308, however, it does appear the rematch between Topuria and Volkanovski will indeed be the next fight.

Despite their trash talk in the lead-up to their first bout in February, which Topuria won by knockout, Volkanovski said there’s a lot of mutual respect underneath any fight promotion put forth by the champion.

“(The win over Holloway was) impressive,” Volkanovski said. “The fight was sort of going. I knew the first couple of rounds were going to be competitive. Then, I thought maybe Max would start using that experience and maybe start to slow Ilia. But Ilia ended up finding the finish in the third round which is impressive. No one has ever done that. He said he was going to do it in the first.

“But no matter what round you do it in, that’s impressive. Because no one has done that to Max. You’ve got to give all respect to Ilia to go out there and do that. I went in there, shook hands with the bloke and wanted to give him his moment, but let him know that I’m next. Let’s just find that day. … Nothing but respect for him and well done. But he’s a solid, dude, man. He’s a respectable dude.
