First UFC 334 fight revealed for Madison Square Garden card
· Yahoo Sports
The
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.
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.
