This morning, the UFC hosted The Ultimate Fighter (TUF 34) final, where Azerbaijani fighter Mahammadali Osmanli faced Kyrgyzstan's Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu.

Offsideplus.az reports that the bout concluded in the first round with Akylbek Uulu declared the winner following an illegal knee strike executed by Osmanli, leading to his disqualification.

Following the match, prominent Azerbaijani UFC fighter Rafael Fiziev praised both athletes and issued a call for unity among Turkic fighters:

"Two Turkic fighters walked into the final of such a legendary show with honour and dignity. It is wonderful to see two of our humble men representing Turkic identity at such a high level on another continent. Do not fight among yourselves; we all belong together."
