The opening bout of UFC 275 just came to a close and what a match-up it has been. Unranked welterweight contenders, Jack Della Maddalena and Russian mixed martial artist Ramazan Emeev fought to the finish. While Emeev displayed how good he truly is as a wrestler, it was Maddalena who walked away with a win.

The first round is all it took for the welterweights to decide the winner, and it was truly an entertaining affair. Early in the first round, Emeev put his wrestling to the test and secured an early takedown. He threatened a crucifix, but then quickly secured a guillotine which he sunk in deep.
