Yizha YizhavsKaan Ofli

Kaan Ofli is riding some serious momentum after that slick rear naked choke over Ricardo Ramos back in October. Finished it in the first round, just over three minutes in. That's the kind of performance that gets people talking, especially after he'd dropped two straight before that. Now he's facing Yizha, who's coming off an absolute banger of a knockout. Dude needed just 37 seconds to put Westin Wilson away with punches back in August.

That's scary fast. Here's the thing though. Ofli's had a wild ride in the UFC. That knockout loss to Mairon Santos in 2024 was brutal, got stopped in the second round. Then he dropped a decision to Muhammad Naimov earlier this year where he couldn't get any of his six takedown attempts to stick.

But that Ramos finish showed he's still got that killer instinct when things hit the mat. Yizha's only got three UFC fights on record, and outside that crazy knockout, he's been on the wrong end of decisions. This matchup is all about whether Ofli can drag this to the ground or if Yizha can keep it standing and land that power. Ofli's shown he can submit guys when he gets them down, but his wrestling hasn't always been reliable. Yizha proved he's got one punch knockout power, but we haven't seen much else from him in terms of a full game plan over three rounds.
