Kakhramonov took the fight on short notice, however, the fighter performed admirably through the fight.

However, the former CFFC bantamweight champion powered through and wrapped up a devastating standing guillotine choke to get the win against Jones.
This victory showed everyone that Kakhramonov has immense talent and can do very well in the UFC. The fighter had also latched on to a guillotine in the first round, however, that time Jones managed to escape. Jones even got some momentum on his side as he ended the second round on top. In the end, however, Kakhramonov got the better of ‘5 star’ and won the fight.
