Mansur Abdul-Malik had an impressive UFC debut at UFC Vegas 100, defeating Dusko Todorovic with a first-round knockout, improving his professional record to 7-0.
Mansur Abdul-Malik’s UFC debut was nothing short of electrifying.
At UFC Vegas 100 on Saturday, Abdul-Malik stepped into the octagon for the first time under the UFC banner. He joined the promotion after an impressive stint on the latest season of Contender Series. Fans had high expectations, and boy, did he deliver by absolutely dominating Dusko Todorovic in round one.
Abdul-Malik is renowned for his explosive power. And he wasted no time showcasing it against Todorovic. Todorovic attempted a leg-lock—perhaps hoping to capitalize on Abdul-Malik’s inexperience—but it backfired. Abdul-Malik unleashed a barrage of powerful punches from a standing position, compelling Todorovic to rise. But rising didn’t help much; Abdul-Malik landed a stunning knee that floored him, followed by relentless ground-and-pound to clinch the victory.
This victory propels Abdul-Malik to an unblemished 7-0 professional record. Out of those wins, six came via knockout and one through submission.
