Dhabi win over Steve Erceg
Temirov put his Australian counterpart to sleep with a crushing
right hand in the co-main event of UFC Abu Dhabi, extending his UFC
record to 3-0 and earning a Performance of the Night bonus for his
efforts. Speaking after the victory, he explained why he feels he's
different from the rest of the division, emphasizing how flyweights
rarely pull off one-shot knockouts as he did against Erceg.
“I haven’t seen all the fighters just fighting like me. Just
striking punches, just making knockouts,” he said. “But my punches
will just kill them all.”
The emphatic finish marked Temirov's 11th first-round stoppage
victory and 13th overall, further solidifying his reputation as one
of the UFC's most explosive flyweights. He has now won 12
consecutive fights. "I haven't seen other fighters
fighting like me."
