Shavkat Rakhmonov turned his hype into high gear on Saturday when he recorded the biggest win of his career to date over Neil Magny at UFC on ESPN 38.
Adding to his impeccable record, Rakhmonov (16-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) showed why he is so highly touted when he defeated all-time welterweight champion Magny (26-9 MMA, 19-8 UFC) in the second Round defeated at UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Below are the top Twitter reactions to Rakhmonov’s win over Magny at UFC on ESPN 38.

Well, my Magny picks are looking stupid early on.

Rakhmonov’s BSP with no formal ground combatant controls could be the best in the entire UFC.

Khamzat Chimaev vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov for next year’s UFC welterweight title is going to be fucking awesome. #UFCVegas57

Magny listens to his trainers. He tries very hard to carry out what they say but Shavkat just overpowers him. He is unable to generate the necessary power in his movements.

Bloody elbow
Rakhmonov finally guillotines in round 2 with 15 seconds and Magny knocks just before the bell!!! #UFCVegas57

Is dominating Neal Magny en route to a submission win more impressive than a Fight of the Year win over Gilbert Burns? #UFCVegas57

Magny set the record for significant hits against Rakhmonov in the UFC with 11.
He’s absorbed an average of 9 per fight in his four UFC appearances. So far only crossed by its opponents.
