Impact Bahamondes entered as a -335 favorite here despite the fact he was fresh off a unanimous decision loss to Rafael Fiziev last June. He had a strong opening round before it all fell apart. Ignacio found himself on the bottom in Round 2. He ate a vicious elbow from Musayev which opened up a massive cut. Bahamondes was compromised the remainder of the fight, which ended up turning into one of the bloodiest in recent memory. He somehow survived the frame and was allowed to continue in Round 3, but Ignacio never truly recovered from the blow. Time is theoretically on Bahamondes' side as he won't turn 29 years old until late August, but a 3-3 mark in his past six fights dating back to August 2023 isn't going to get the job done.
