Grading UFC 308 winners: Magomed Ankalaev, Lerone Murphy and Shara Magomedov’s wild KO

UFC 308 was certainly a big night for Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev, but there were others on that card that shinned as well.

Magomed Ankalaev demented himself as the No. 1 contender in the division by defeating Aleksandar Rakic in a unanimous decision, Lerone Murphy also won on the scorecards, defeating veteran Dan Ige, Shara Magomedov picked up one of the wildest knockouts of 2024 by putting away Armen Petrosyan.

Should Ankalaev get the next title shot? Is Murphy ready for the top dogs at featherweight? What’s the ceiling on Magomedov? What should be next for these winners after their respective victories?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Dan Tom, Danny Segura and host “Gorgeous” George discuss some of the big wins under the top billing of Saturday’s UFC pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi.
