First UFC 334 fight revealed for Madison Square Garden card
Published
2 months agoon
Ultimate Fighting Championship's annual Madison Square Garden
card is taking shape.
Nazim
Sadykhov is set to square off against Jefferson
Nascimento in a lightweight bout at UFC 334 on
Nov. 14 at MSG in New York City. While the UFC has yet to
officially announce the bout, Sadykhov took to Instagram to reveal
the booking. They last competed on the same card earlier this
year.
Nazim Sadykhov says he will face Jefferson Nascimento at UFC
334 in New York
Nascimento (13-1) was a highly touted undefeated prospect going
into his UFC debut against fellow promotional debutant Tahir
Abdullayev this past June at
UFC Baku. However, he was booed in enemy territory for coasting
throughout the first two rounds.
Abdullayev finally hurt Nascimento late in the third round and
referee Jim Perdios called a highly questionable stop to the
contest. While Nascimento made his UFC debut at welterweight, the
former LFA lightweight champ will drop back down to 155 pounds in
pursuit of his first Octagon victory.
Meanwhile, Sadykhov (11-3-1) was a -250 favorite against Matheus
Camilo in front of a home crowd in Azerbaijan. However, Camilo
silenced the crowd by knocking Sadykhov out in the first round,
although it was yet another controversial stoppage, this time by
referee Rich
Mitchell. This marked Sadykhov's second loss on the bounce
following his defeat to Fares Ziam
last December. His UFC record stands at 4-2-1.

Tsarukyan is open to fighting Alexander
Volkanovski, provided
Ultimate Fighting Championship gold is at stake.
Volkanovski (29-4) defended the featherweight title with a
technical knockout victory over Movsar
Evloev at
UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi before expressing interest in returning to
lightweight. With champion Justin
Gaethje uncertain about his future, Volkanovski offered to face
Tsarukyan (24-3) for the vacant title if Gaethje retires.
Arman Tsarukyan reminds Alexander Volkanovski how Islam
Makhachev rematch ended
Tsarukyan said the championship matters more to him than the
opponent.
“I'm ready for everyone,†Tsarukyan told Yavuz Saynomo. “For me, it
doesn't matter who I'm gonna fight; I just want to fight for the
title.â€
Volkanovski has expressed confidence that he can counter
Tsarukyan's wrestling and avoid being held down. Tsarukyan
responded by recalling the Australian's knockout loss to Islam
Makhachev.
“He said Islam Makhachev cannot knock him out, too,†Tsarukyan
added.
Volkanovski has twice challenged Makhachev for the lightweight
championship. He lost their first meeting by unanimous decision
before Makhachev finished their rematch with a head kick and
follow-up punches.
Tsarukyan remains confident that his next bout will be for the
title. If Gaethje retires, “The Batman†expects to compete for the
vacant belt.
“I have a title fight next,†Tsarukyan reiterated. “Either Justin
Gaethje. If he is retired, someone else.â€
