UFC 311 live fight updates, results, highlights from Islam Makhachev vs. Renato Moicano

The UFC heads to the Intuit Dome in Inglewood on January 18 for UFC 311. The event has two title fights, with both contests featuring wrestling-based champions. 

Islam Makhachev defends the UFC lightweight title against Renato Moicano. Makhachev (26-1) is on a fourteen-fight win streak and has successfully defended the lightweight title three times.

Moicano (20-5-1) is 12-5 in the octagon and is on a four-fight win streak. The 35-year-old replaces Arman Tsarukyan, who backed out the day before the fight due to injury.

The co-main event will see Merab Dvalishvili defend the UFC bantamweight title against Umar Nurmagomedov. Dvalishvili (18-4) beat Petr Yan, Henry Cejudo, and Sean O’Malley in his path to gold. The cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Umar (18-0) is 6-0 in the octagon. He looks to prove he belongs in the main event.
