From the very beginning of the bout, Chimaev swiftly approached his opponent, using a leg hook, which allowed him to quickly take Hermansson to the ground and establish control. Jack's attempts to return to a standing position were unsuccessful.
After the break, the fighters found themselves back on their feet. In the first minute, Hermansson acted cautiously, waiting for an attack from Chimaev. However, Chimaev once again applied a leg hook and brought him down to the ground again. It was evident in this fight that Chimaev effectively utilized his hands to prevent his opponent's grips.
At one point, Chimaev grabbed Hermansson by the neck and sharply pulled him towards himself while continuing to neutralize his arms. Later, Jack displayed excellent defense against a single-leg takedown and attempted to secure a top position, but Chimaev skillfully countered and executed a takedown of his own.
Hermansson's attempt to perform a single-leg takedown also failed—Chimaev easily stopped the attack by falling on top and securing his opponent's foot. The fight concluded at this point.
These moments highlight that Hermansson is vulnerable to takedowns executed through leg hooks—Chimaev successfully used this technique twice.
For Myktybek Oralbai uulu, an important aspect may be working in the clinch and attempting to take his opponent to the ground using similar hooks. However, it is worth noting that Chimaev was significantly heavier and physically stronger than the Kyrgyz athlete, which could have influenced the outcome of the fight.
The bout of Myktybek Oralbai uulu will take place this weekend, November 22, at the UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker tournament in Qatar.
