The famous “Showtime” kick made its return at the latest UFC Fight Night event in the Netherlands.
On Saturday, a new UFC featherweight prospect ran off the cage and threw a kick reminiscent of the famous kick former UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis landed on Benson Henderson back in their fight in the WEC in 2010.
Zabit Magomedsharipov ran off the cage during his fight with Mike Santiago. Magomedsharipov jumped off the cage and threw other flashy kicks throughout his UFC debut.
In the end, Magomedsharipov earned a submission win late in the second round after he locked in a rear-naked choke.
Magomedsharipov has an overall 13-1 record in the sport of MMA. Following his win on Saturday, he is now on a nine-fight winning streak. With his exciting offensive skills, Magomedsharipov is a prospect UFC fans will need to look out for in the future.
