Muhammad Saidov wondered how he'd feed family before UFC call came

Muhammad Saidov, a 30-year-old UFC debutant, delivered a highlight-reel second-round TKO victory over Dustin Jacoby at UFC Fight Night 282 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, improving his record to 10-0 in MMA. Saidov received the short-notice call-up after multiple other opponents withdrew, making his debut against the experienced Jacoby (22-10-1 MMA). Before receiving the UFC call, Saidov had reportedly been struggling financially, making the opportunity and subsequent win especially meaningful for him.
