The week leading up to UFC 223 was a crazy one. From Conor McGregor wreaking havoc to fighters pulling out with injuries, it was truly one for the books. But through it all, the Dominance MMA family came out on top. Represented fighters Zabit Magomedsharipov and Khabib Nurmagomedov were both victorious in their contests. Zabit is a young rising star who put on a striking clinic against a tough, hungry Kyle Bochniak. They earned the Fight of the Night bonus for their performance.

Khabib Nurmagomedov put on a dominant performance against Al Iaquinta. The Eagle was crowned the NEW Lightweight Champion at UFC 223 making him the first ever champion from Dagestan, Russia.
