Nasrat Haqparast was born in Hamburg, Germany to Afghan refugee parents and has been a UFC lightweight fixture since 2017. He is a heavy-handed southpaw with a Muay Thai base who now trains at the famed Tristar Gym in Montreal. Ten of his eighteen wins have come by knockout, and he throws serious volume, though he also absorbs a lot in return. He is looking to bounce back from a first-round knockout loss to Quillan Salkilld last October, and there is a storyline bonus: fight night falls on his 31st birthday.
