Farman Hasanov
The Lion
Azerbaijan
One-sided win in debut
Hasanov defeated Eric Nolan via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Baku on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Hasanov found himself as a slight betting favorite for his UFC debut, but the margin between the two men proved to be far wider. It was the perfect storm for a high DFS score, as Nolan had absolutely no hope of defending Hasanov's takedown attempts, but Hasanov couldn't hold him down for long or do much with his positional advantage. The final takedown count was a whopping 17, but Hasanov was only able to record 21 significant strikes across 11:12 worth of control time. It was was a dominant effort for the 30-year-old Azerbaijan native in front of a friendly crowd.
