Undefeated lightweight contender Nurullo Aliev announced on social media that he has signed a contract for his next UFC fight. The Tajikistani fighter currently holds an 11-0 professional record with a 3-0 mark inside the UFC octagon. No opponent has been announced yet for Aliev's fourth promotional appearance. The 26-year-old has been building momentum in the lightweight division with three consecutive victories since joining the organization.
Nurullo Aliev has signed a contract for his next UFC appearance, the undefeated lightweight announced via social media on April 13. No opponent has been named yet for what will be his fourth promotional outing.
Aliev, known as the Tajik Eagle, carries a perfect 11-0 professional record into his next assignment, going 3-0 since joining the UFC. The 25-year-old from Tajikistan stands five-foot-ten with a 72-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance. Inside the octagon he lands 2.72 significant strikes per minute at a 44 percent accuracy rate, while also threatening on the ground with 2.12 takedown attempts per 15 minutes, making him a genuinely two-dimensional threat in the lightweight division.
Why it matters
- Aliev enters the fight undefeated, giving any future opponent the chance to hand him his first professional loss and derail an emerging contender.
- A fourth UFC win would significantly strengthen his case for a ranked position in the loaded 155-pound division.
- His blend of striking output and takedown volume creates a stylistically difficult puzzle for whoever is eventually booked across from him.
