Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Alem Begic
Round 1: Sheeraz is absolutely massive in there compared to Begic, as he lands a nasty double left hook and a right hand. I don’t think this will last very long, folks. Sheeraz with a jab, and another, and Sheeraz is just standing in front of his opponent with no fear of repercussion in any way. Two body shots and an uppercut from Sheeraz, then another pair of clean jabs. Big right hand from Sheeraz, and that jab is just landing at a near-perfect clip. Final 30 seconds and Sheeraz lands a nice combination, capped off with a left hook. Begic tries to throw a slew of body shots, Sheeraz lands one more left hand and the round ends. Easy 10-9 for the heavy favorite.
MMAFighting scores it 10-9 Sheeraz
Round 2: Sheeraz’s corner said, ‘He’s literally not going to do anything to you,’ and he may be right.
