I’m a big fan of Kattar and his striking style, but I have a hard time picking against Magomedsharipov in what will only be a three-round affair. We’ve seen Zabit slow as fights go on, but suspect his footwork, kicks and wrestling can keep him safe here. We’ll see… #UFCMoscow

Zabit is so unpredictable out there

Fun first round #UFCMoscow

What a round. So technical #ufcmoscow

— Max Griffin (@MaxPainGriffin) November 9, 2019

This round might be the first round of genuinely high-level MMA that we’ve seen on this entire card.

Quick hands on both ends! #UFCMoscow

As advertised thru five minutes…ESPN+. #Zabit #Kattar

Zabit is doing a very good job of countering the jab and following with a long cross. I think when Kattar attacks he should finish with low kicks off his hands because Zabit pulls back and retreats quickly. Gotta slow him down

Zabits nasty!

Kattar seemed like he was starting to crack the armour a bit towards the end of the round, but I think it’s a fairly clear 20-18 Zabit going into the third.

Fun main event here #UFCMoscow

— Megan Olivi (@MeganOlivi) November 9, 2019

Kattar started finding his timing near the end of round 2 but I think he really needs to pick up the volume round 3. Can’t see him winning a decision in Russia so far.

Crazy trip by @zabeast_mma but @CalvinKattar got outta that shit!!! Wow! @ufc #ufcmoscow

— Max Griffin (@MaxPainGriffin) November 9, 2019

This fight should have been five rounds…#UFCMoscow

Zabit averages over 6 takedowns per 15 minutes. With excellent TD defense, great ability hand fighting and good footwork, Kattar has completely taken that from him.

— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) November 9, 2019

Kattar daring to be great, flying knee attempt! Zabit catches him mid air and drops him on his back! Great UFC main event.

Very impressive boxing by both guys. I like Kattar’s combos in the 3rd round. He has great fundamentals. I think we have a very different 5 rd fight and it’s a shame they could only get 3rds

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) November 9, 2019

Wish there were 2 more rounds!! #UFCMoscow pic.twitter.com/EAfUFAE38k

— Nobphavanh Manivanh (@nobz_ufc) November 9, 2019

Great fight. I’m gonna predict right now, we see it again someday. (Not next, but someday). And we see it booked for five rounds.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) November 9, 2019

Really wishing that was a 5 rounder.

— Lando Vannata (@GroovyLando) November 9, 2019

Need to see Zabit in a 5 round fight #UFCMoscow

— Jeremy Kennedy (@JeremyKennedyWC) November 9, 2019

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