(Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Muhammad Saidov looked as good as advertised earlier today (Sat., July 25, 2026) at UFC Abu Dhabi LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE, as the Octagon newcomer stunned light heavyweight veteran Dustin Jacoby with a second-round TKO (head kick and punches). Jacoby was a decent betting favorite for this 205-pound clash due to his experience inside of the cage and recent three-fight win streak. However, Saidov was coming into his Saturday debut with a lot of hype and serious stopping power on the feet. It was going to be a good matchup of light heavyweight strikers that have the capability to ending the fight with one shot. The first round was a close back-and-forth affair, but it didn’t offer any big moments for either fighter. That all changed in the second round when Saidov was able to find a home for a massive left head kick. Jacoby was rocked as Saidov moved in for powerful punches along the cage to eventually find the finish. It was an impressive debut to say the least.
