He now has the opportunity to earn a rematch if he can get pas the tricky Bautista. Prior to losing to Dvalishvili, Nurmagomedov won his first six UFC fights, including a decision over Cory Sandhagen that led to his title shot at UFC 311.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bautista (16-2) quietly built up his contender r\u00e9sum\u00e9, stringing together a few first-round submissions before graduating into bigger fights with names like Jose Aldo, Patchy Mix, and Ricky Simon. Each time, Bautista found a way to win on the scorecards, and he is now riding an eight-fight win streak.
