Mikkel Parlo versus Abusupiyan Magomedov
Round 1
Abus is the taller fighter of the two. Parlo in black shorts looks relaxed, and they touch gloves… and it is on!
Parlo has good head movement, but looking for his big right hand… but it doesn’t land yet. Magomedov tries a spinning back kick, but it doesn’t land. The crowd is into this main event.
The two tie-up briefly, but it is Parlo stalking Abus. With overhand rights coming. Good right uppercut from the lanky fighter, but Mikkel comes back with a combination.
Wow, Mikkel Parlo is having a great fight. #GerMMAny

Round 2
Mikkel Parlo brought some fans to Germany. Abus Magomedov's fans are quiet right now. #GMC7

Parlo looks to be the fresher of the two as he stalks down Abus. Even a spinning backfist for the Dane who looks comfortable in his return to the cage.
It’s the power of Parlo that looks to be the difference in the standup action.
Round 3
Parlo’s boxing and head movement remains solid, as the fighter returns from surgery and over a year off from fighting. The combinations are there and the aggression hasn’t been lost. Solid performance and victory nearing for the Dane here in Germany.
