  "account": "In a fight at the UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas, Kyrgyzstan's Ilimbek Akylbek Uulu was disqualified after delivering a vicious illegal knee to the head of Azerbaijan's Mahammadali Osmanli, causing him to lose consciousness. The incident occurred just two minutes and nineteen seconds into the first round of the bantamweight bout. Referee Kerry Hatley took his time before making the call, but ultimately ruled the fight a disqualification in favor of Akylbek Uulu. The video of the brutal knee can be viewed below. Prior to this incident, Akylbek Uulu had been slightly ahead in the fight, landing a takedown and gaining control. This victory marks his third consecutive win. Meanwhile, Osmanli's nine-fight winning streak came to an abrupt end.",
