I personally think Zabit beat Islam, Islam couldn't get back up after Zabit took him down, Zabit landed better strikes on the feet, and while Islam came close with the arm bar, he coudn't finish it and got stood up for no action, being a stalemate position.
 
A Muslim won, which is usually the case in UFC matches

I honestly expected an in depth technical breakdown praising both fighters but you took the path of least resistance

Zabit in 3 rounds Islam in 5 rounds /endofdiscussion
 
Islam won. He was able to get a more dominant position and land more significant ground and pound, plus had a submission attempt. The sub attempt most likely got him the win in that fight even if it was defended. He came closer to trying to win/finish the fight compared to Zabit. If there was no submission attempts it could've been a draw.
 
Once you actually go to the underground Russian site and view the records of the SAMBO matches .. you will see just how dominate Khabib, Islam, and Zabit were

I'm sure most agree already the names on their Sambo resume is insane

Imagine fighting that much in such a short period and dominating guys back to back to back
