Nurullo Aliev has signed a contract for his next UFC appearance, the undefeated Tajik fighter announced via social media on April 13. No opponent, date, or location has been confirmed at this stage, though Aliev's team has opened the door to public speculation about who he will face next.
Aliev, nicknamed "Tajik Eagle," enters his fourth UFC assignment with a perfect 11-0-0 overall record, going 3-0 since joining the promotion. The 25-year-old from Tajikistan stands five-foot-ten with a 72-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance. He averages 2.72 significant strikes landed per minute at a 44 percent striking accuracy rate, while also providing a consistent grappling threat at 2.12 takedowns per 15 minutes. His submission attempt rate of 0.3 per 15 minutes rounds out a well-balanced skill set that has yet to be tested by defeat at any level of competition.
Why it matters
- Aliev enters his next fight as one of the few remaining undefeated fighters active in the UFC, making each outing a significant test of that unblemished record.
- At just 25 years old, a continued winning run could push him firmly into divisional ranking contention in the near future.
- His combination of striking output and takedown volume creates a matchup puzzle for any prospective opponent across his division.
- The identity of his next opponent remains the central open question, with Aliev's team actively courting public discussion around the booking.
