Key moments

• The fight ended before Sadykhov could settle into the drawn-out exchanges that usually suit him best.
• Camilo scored the stoppage by punches only 91 seconds into round one.
• It gave Sadykhov a second straight defeat after entering the bout with much more established UFC footing.

Sadykhov was one second away from hearing the horn in round two, but Ziam closed the show with elbows and punches at 4:59. The late stoppage was a harsh swing because it turned a competitive-looking fight line into a definitive defeat just before the break.

Key moments

• The stoppage came at 4:59 of round two, making it one of the cruelest possible late endings.
• Ziam finished with elbows and punches rather than a single-shot knockout.
• Sadykhov was denied the chance to regroup between rounds by the timing of the finish.

Sadykhov's win over Motta fit perfectly with his action-fighter reputation: a violent two-round battle that ended with a late knockout and left him with both performance-related bonuses on the night. The official finish came at 4:17 of round two by punches.

Key moments

• The fight ended late in the second round rather than through an early ambush.
• Sadykhov got the knockout with punches at 4:17.

• The win showed he could still turn a measured start into a damaging opening-round result.
• It pushed him back onto a winning track before the Motta breakthrough.

• The bout went all fifteen minutes and still could not produce a clean winner on the cards.
• A majority draw captured how back-and-forth the scoring stayed across rounds.
• The fight earned Fight of the Night recognition.
