The Turkish-Dutch middleweight battered Abdul-Malik’s lead leg and utilized his distance control to secure a third-round stoppage. Belgaroui noted that he simulated difficult scenarios during camp, including being on the fence and fighting off half-submissions, to prepare for the bout. This marks Belgaroui's second UFC win following his return to the promotion after a failed Contender Series attempt.
