Farman 'The Lion' Hasanov is an undefeated 31-year-old Azerbaijani welterweight who signed with the UFC off an undefeated regional run that included stints in the LFA. He has carried that unbeaten record into the promotion, most recently breaking the welterweight single-round takedown record in a unanimous decision win over Eric Nolan in June 2026. He now faces his toughest test yet in veteran finisher Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani.
