Impact Bahamondes entered having won three in a row, all via first-round stoppage, but this was a big ask on the road on hostile territory against a legitimately talented opponent. One of the most creative strikers in the lightweight division, Ignacio's really struggled to use his length and reach edge to his advantage. Fiziev constantly crashed the pocket, leading to four successful takedowns on four attempts. There just wasn't enough offense from the Bahamondes side to potentially win a decision. The good news is that Ignacio is still just 27 years old and has plenty of time to rebound from this setback.
