Aliev is an undefeated lightweight from Dushanbe, Tajikistan, who earned his UFC contract with a first-round knockout on the 2022 Contender Series. Now training out of Kaizen MMA in Virginia, he has gone 3-0 inside the Octagon the old-fashioned way — takedowns, top control, and suffocating grappling, with nine of his eleven wins going to the scorecards. He absorbs barely a strike and a half per minute, one of the stingier defensive profiles at 155. At 25, he is quietly building toward the lightweight rankings one grinding decision at a time.
