Following a massive weigh-in day shakeup, UFC 311 finally went down on Saturday (January 18) at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. CA.

"Money" Moicano Comes Up Short Against Islam Makhachev

The main event saw Renato Moicano attempt to score one of the biggest upsets in UFC championship history when he challenged UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev.

The card was supposed to be headlined by a rematch between Makhachev and #1 contender Arman Tsarukyan, but after the challenger suffered a back injury during his weight cut Moicano was pulled from a main card matchup with Beneil Dariush to step in for the biggest fight of his career.

The co-main event was another huge title bout featuring UFC Bantamweight Champion Merab Dvalishvili and undefeated challenger Umar Nurmagomedov.

Nurmagomedov entered his first UFC title fight after defeating perennial top bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen in his first main event slot, but the formerly-undefeated fighter couldn't keep up with the champion's relentless pace and Dvalishvili defended his belt via unanimous decision.

The main card also Jiří Procházka stop Jamahal Hill in a battle between former light heavyweight champions, and now Procházka will likely direct his attention to the recently-announced title bout between Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalev on March 8.

Jailton Almeida and Reinier de Ridder kicked off the UFC 311 main card with a pair of first-round finishes, and in the night's featured prelim Raoni Barcelos scored a massive upset when he handed rising star Payton Talbott the first loss of his career.
