4 years agoMakwan Amirkhani rebounded well from his Shane Burgos defeat in November 2019. 3:15 into the first round, he caught Danny Henry in a beautiful anaconda choke, completely putting Henry to sleep. Amirkhani shot in for his first takedown attempt, which was successful. After a short bit of time on the mat, Amirkhani got Henry where he wanted him and ended the bout with a huge statement. Amirkhani is a fighter to keep on your radar. There is no shame losing to Burgos, who is considered one of the best in the world. This impressive submission win will give Amirkhani the boost he needs to head into his next bout to continue his climb up the featherweight ladder.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
