GrapplingStriking
Dagestani bantamweight and former WFCA featherweight champion, a UFC regular since 2018. He is a rangy, unorthodox striker with real submission threat off scrambles, and every one of his five losses has come by decision rather than finish. He has dropped his last two, to Vinicius Oliveira and Bryce Mitchell, and has not fought since July 2025.
