Picks up first UFC victory
Adashev defeated Ryan Benoit via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 28 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Believe it or not, Adashev didn't accomplish a ton in what ended up being a lopsided victory. He battered Benoit with a few vicious leg kicks in Round 1 and essentially coasted the rest of the way. Adashev did have to survive being knocked down late in Round 1, but he was never in trouble the remainder of the bout. Adashev has some pop in his hands and is aggressive on the feet, but his defense is lacking and he has just seven professional bouts under his belt. On the bright side, this fight most certainly saved his job following back-to-back losses to begin his UFC run.
