MONTREAL – Bekzat Almakhan met the media Saturday after his win over Brad Katona at UFC 315.
Almakhan (12-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) got his first UFC win when he knocked out two-time “Ultimate Fighter” winner Katona (14-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC) just 64 seconds into their card opener at Bell Centre.
After the win, the bantamweight said he’s a brand new problem for the division. His debut in the UFC, 14 months ago, was a short-notice loss to Umar Nurmagomedov on his rise to title contention, and with a full camp for Katona, Almakhan is confident the real show started at UFC 315.

Justin Thomas deserves more talk ahead of the PGA Championship.
Ask the obvious question and you will get one of three possible answers.
Question: Who do you think is going to win the PGA Championship?
Answer: It’s either going to be Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy or Bryson DeChambeau.
To be clear, there is no faulty logic at play here. Scottie, Rory and Bryson are perhaps the three best golfers in the world right now. Taking them against the field is arguably the better play.
