Maheshate is a 26-year-old lightweight from Xinjiang, China, who became the first fighter from China to win a UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series, submitting Achilles Estremadura in November 2021. He announced himself with a first-round knockout of Steve Garcia in his UFC 275 debut in June 2022, but has gone just 2-4 in the Octagon since, including back-to-back decision losses to Nikolas Motta and Gauge Young. He returned to form with a first-round guillotine submission of Darrius Flowers on the undercard of the Road to UFC Season 5 Shanghai Semifinals in August 2026.
