Islam Makhachev submitted Renato Moicano in one round to successfully retain his lightweight title at UFC 311 and set a new record.

The Russian has now defended his belt four times in a row, a first in the UFC.

The record was previously jointly held by legends Khabib Nurmagomedov, Benson Henderson and BJ Penn, who all managed three defences.

Makhachev, 33, staked his claim as the UFC's pound-for-pound best with an unstoppable performance on Saturday night in Inglewood, California.
