Muhammadjon 'Hillman' Naimov is a Tajikistan-born featherweight who trains with Elevation Fight Team in Denver and built his striking base in taekwondo. A seven-fight UFC veteran, he has alternated wins and losses throughout his Octagon run, most recently getting knocked out by Mairon Santos in December 2025 after back-to-back decision wins over Bogdan Grad and Kaan Ofli. He looks to bounce back against a fellow featherweight coming off his own tough loss.
