Tofiq Musayev Scores Second-Round TKO of L'udovit Klein at UFC Belgrade

Overview

• Musayev defeated L'udovit Klein by TKO at 4:07 of Round 2 at UFC Belgrade after referee stoppage of ground-and-pound.
• Reporters and fight video show Musayev repeatedly attacked Klein's lead leg, which forced Klein to favor that side and reduced his mobility.
• The fight-ending sequence began with a hard body shot that dropped Klein, followed by a right hook and left hand, then hammer fists that prompted the stoppage.
• In his post-fight interview Musayev called for a top-15 opponent, noted that this was his first stoppage inside the UFC, and framed the win as a late-career resurgence.
• The result raises Musayev's profile and could lead to a ranked matchup, but UFC matchmakers and rankings will determine whether he receives a top-15 test next.
