Zabit Magomedsharipov continues to roll in the UFC featherweight division.
In a three-round headliner, the 28-year-old Dagestan native outworked Calvin Kattar early to earn a unanimous decision and extend his octagon winning streak to six fights.
In the co-headliner, Alexander Volkov outstruck Greg Hardy over three rounds to hand the former NFLer a shutout on judges’ scorecards.
Here is how the pros reacted to the UFC Moscow main and co-main event:

Zabit has no cardio and can’t go 5 rounds in main event? #Weak #TrackRunner

Agreed Volkov isn’t being aggressive at all against a lesser striker with a broken power hand https://t.co/PFH3uRHUaP

Let's go now and please don't turn this down again.#UFCMoscow #UNCROWNEDCHAMP
Lets keep in mind, that 3 years ago, @GregHardyJr didnt know how to throw a punch, he didnt know what "pummeling" or "shrimping" was... 3 years later he fought the #7 heavyweight on 3 weeks notice in his 5th fight in a calendar year.
