Having not visited Russia for the first 24 years of its existence, the UFC now prepares for its third visit to the largest country in the world in 14 months.

In the main event, Zabit Magomedsharipov (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) takes on Calvin Kattar (20-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in a battle between the fifth and eleventh-ranked UFC featherweights, respectively.

Let’s take a look at the last three results of the two men in Saturday’s main event:

Magomedsharipov earned a Fight of the Night bonus in a unanimous decision victory over Kyle Bochniak before defeating Brandon Davis by submission and 32-fight UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens via unanimous decision.

Zabit’s Suloev stretch submission over Davis would have been the first in the UFC in over five years (and just the second in promotional history), had Aljamain Sterling not defeated Cody Stamann by the same rare submission just four fights prior on the same night.

Kattar suffered the first defeat of his UFC career in a unanimous decision loss to Renato Moicano before rebounding with first-round TKO victories over Chris Fishgold and former UFC title contender Ricardo Lamas.

Originally set for Kattar’s hometown of Boston last month, an injury to Magomedsharipov saw the bout postponed and relocated to Russia.

The two men share no common opponents throughout their professional MMA careers.

The Dwyer Score Each event, I calculate a ‘Dwyer Score’ for the card. It essentially gives a numeric value to the momentum of fighters competing at any one event. I do this by assigning a figure to each fighter’s current streak; a fighter on a five-fight winning streak contributes +5 to an event’s score, whilst a fighter on a two-fight losing streak contributes -2 to the score. Only UFC results are considered and a fighter coming off a no-contest, a draw, or a bout with another promotion has a streak of 0. When you tally up the scores for every fighter on a card, you get a total for the event- the ‘Dwyer Score.’ This score does not claim to predict or measure the quality or excitement of any one card, but it does give you an idea of the general momentum of fighters heading into a specific event. The graphic to the above-right displays some of the highest-scoring events of all time, to help give some context to this score.
