UFC 294 started with an exciting middleweight match between Sharaputdin Magomedov and Bruno Silva. Magomedov, known as ‘Shara Bullet,’ had a lot of hype around him due to his great record and not losing any fights. He’s also partially blind in one eye from an injury in Thailand. Silva, on the other hand, wanted to get back to winning.

In the first round, both fighters were aggressive, but Magomedov had some trouble finding his rhythm in boxing. However, in the second round, Magomedov took control and showed his impressive kickboxing skills. Silva couldn’t defend well against Magomedov’s kicks, and got hurt.
