Despite taking the fight on short notice, Kakhramonov performed admirably. Both Jones and Kakhramonov gave it their all and looked a bit fatigued towards the end of the fight. However, the former CFFC bantamweight champion powered through and wrapped up a devastating standing guillotine choke to get the win against Jones.
