Gets right back in win column Orolbai defeated Tofiq Musayev via submission (kimura) at 4:35 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Impact Orolbai is a brawler, but he's also a plenty underrated grappler, as Musayev found out here. Knowing full well the elite, fight-ending power his opponent possessed, Orolbai simply leaned on his wrestling game, going 3-of-5 on takedowns and racking up 3:40 worth of control time. He locked on the kimura perfectly and Musayev found himself tapping out moments later. It was a strong rebound performance from Orolbai on the heels of a split decision defeat to a quality opponent in Mateusz Rebecki last October.
