The fight lasted less than a minute and witnessed Striegl march forward and attempt to attack Nurmagomedov from long range.
However, Striegl failed to land any significant offense and was instead caught by a beautiful left hand thrown by Nurmagomedov.
Nurmagomedov’s left hand appeared to have stunned Striegl instantly, as the latter latched on to Nurmagomedov’s leg in hopes of securing a single-leg takedown.

Said Nurmagomedov landed multiple punches in quick succession on Striegl’s head, downing the latter on the mat.
Furthermore, having freed himself of the single-leg hold and knocked down his opponent, Nurmagomedov continued landing multiple punches on Striegl’s head.
The flurry of punches knocked out Striegl, with the referee stepping in and waving off the fight at the 51-second mark.
Said Nurmagomedov proceeded to celebrate his victory, having returned to the win column in spectacular fashion.
Moreover, addressing his victory, Said Nurmagomedov stated:
“I feel great…I didn’t have to get injured or anything. It was over pretty quick. I have great balance. I’m good on the ground.”
