Tukhugov lost to Brazilian Brenner in UFC 284 opening bout

The UFC 284 tournament in Perth, Australia opened with a fight between Brazilian Elwes Brenner and Russian Zubaira Tukhugov, who made his debut in catchweight (71.4 kg).

The first round was rather cautious and without preference for any of the opponents. Although the Russian athlete managed to get a cut.

The second round went with a slight advantage of the Russian, who visually delivered more accented punches.

And the third round hardly brought tangible dividends to any of the fighters. It is curious that almost the entire three-round fight took place in the standing position.

The decision remained with the judges, and they gave their votes to the Brazilian athlete. Tukhugov's defeat.
