After some kick trading, Salikhov brought the fight to the ground during the opening round, throwing some noteworthy ground-and-pound on Jingliang. Jingliang would make it back to his feet but be unable to get anything going more than simple jabs.
Fortunes changed in the second round, however. After fighting off Salikhov’s clinch attempts, Jingliang dropped Salikhov with a one-two and a couple of follow-up ground strikes to end the fight.
