SYDNEY, Australia — Canadian lightweight John Makdessi lost by decision to Australian Jamie Mullarkey on the UFC 293 undercard on Saturday night.Makdessi improved as the fight wore on after a strong start by Mullarkey, who was close to a 3-to-1 favourite. And his crisp striking took a toll on the Aussie in the third round.
Makdessi took the centre of the cage on the first round, eating some leg kicks while looking to land punches. Mullarkey got the Canadian's attention with a few jabs. Mullarkey, whose nose was dripping blood early in the third round, punished Makdessi with a knee. But the Canadian showed good defence in the final round.
Haqparast, with Canadian trainer Firas Zabahi in his corner, won a unanimous 30-27 decision over American Landon Quinones immediately before Makdessi's bout Saturday.
