Two seasoned warriors didn't disappoint. In the first round, Aby suffered a cut on his head, which bled profusely throughout the fight but didn’t cause any lasting damage. Despite the injury, Zhumagulov dominated the second round again, and after it ended, the cut was examined by a doctor. Thankfully, the fight continued into the final round.

It was clear—Zhumagulov claimed the last round as well, thanks to his incredibly powerful strikes that felt like they came from a heavier weight class. However, it must be said that Aby’s relentless fighting spirit didn’t wane, and if the fight had gone on, who knows what might have happened?

What’s certain is that we witnessed a high-level battle and a strong debut for OKTAGON's newest addition, who did not disappoint.
