ABU DHABI – Undefeated [autotag]Amru Magomedov[/autotag] needed less than one round to become UAE Warriors champion.

A training partner of the likes of UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and Bellator champ Usman Nurmagomedov, Magomedov (7-0) submitted Jakhongir Jumaev (10-4) to capture the promotion’s vacant lightweight title in Round 1 of the UAE Warriors 45 main event Tuesday at Al Jazira Club. The rear-naked choke finish came at the 3:28 mark of Round 1.
