Albazi is an Iraqi-born grappler who climbed to the top five on the strength of back-takes and nine career submission wins, but injuries have limited him to three fights since mid-2023. He has dropped back-to-back decisions to Brandon Moreno and Kyoji Horiguchi, the only losses of his career. He has never been finished and is working back from outside the immediate title picture.
