At the end of the first season of Lion Championship, Jovidon Khojaev set out to Indonesia to practice to find new opportunities. In March of this year, he was suddenly awarded the MMA Cage Warriors. This is one of the world's leading prestigious tournaments, who have trained many famous boxers like Conor McGregor.
A notable detail of Jovidon Khojaev is that he has cut a lot to attend Cage Warriors. While playing in Vietnam, this boxer competed in a weight of 84kg. But coming to the new tournament, he went to play Lightweight (70kg). This makes Tajikistan boxers have to squeeze a lot to play.
Before playing for Cage Warriors, the professional MMA competition recorded on Jovidon's Sherdog Khojaev was 3 matches (2 wins, 1 loss). Tapology recorded “Persian Lion” who fought 5 professional matches (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) and the achievement of playing with 2 amateur MMA matches.
Jovidon's opponent Khojaev first played at Cage Warriors, Sunni Imhotep, American boxer. This is one of the very strong boxers who used to play in the MMA Bellator before joining Cage Warriors. Imhotep's professional MMA competition is 4 matches (3 wins, 1 loss) and winning 1 amateur MMA match.
Imhotep's CV helped him play immediately in a Main Card match of Cage Warriors, instead of having to fight from the outside. In the match against Imhotep, Khojaev played very hard, and dominated it at some point. However, that was not enough for him to win. Tajikistan boxer lost the agreement after 3 rounds.
