Malykhin instantly pressed Machado forward when the opening bell rang and unleashed his punches and kicks to back up his Brazilian opposition.
But less than a minute into the match, the Russian debutant stopped the takedown attempt from Machado and maneuvered his way into a favorable position on the ground.
Once he secured the crucifix position on top, Malykhin wasted no time and rained down punches and elbows on Machado's head relentlessly. Machado tried to get out of the position, but Malykhin tried to submit him with a kimura.
After Malykhin's submission attempt failed, the Golden Team representative returned to punishing Machado with punches and elbows, which accumulated significant damage.
With both his arms trapped and nowhere to go, Machado tapped out from the punches from Malykhin, awarding him the TKO finish.
