Nurullo Aliev, who holds an 11-0 record with 3-0 in the UFC, announced on social media that he has signed a contract for his next UFC bout. The undefeated fighter did not reveal his opponent or the date of the fight. Aliev's announcement has generated speculation among fans about who his next opponent will be. Further details about the matchup are expected to be released by the UFC soon.
Nurullo Aliev, the undefeated Tajik prospect known as the Tajik Eagle, has signed a new UFC contract for his next octagon appearance, the 25-year-old announced via social media on April 13. He did not disclose an opponent or a scheduled date for the fight.
Aliev enters the next chapter of his UFC career with a perfect 11-0-0 professional record, having gone 3-0 since joining the promotion. The orthodox-stance fighter out of Tajikistan stands five-foot-ten with a 72-inch reach and has built his undefeated mark through a balanced skillset. He lands 2.72 significant strikes per minute at a 44 percent accuracy rate and generates consistent grappling pressure, averaging 2.12 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 0.3 submission attempts per 15 minutes — a combination that makes him a threat in all phases of a fight.
Why it matters
- Aliev's perfect record and 3-0 UFC start signal he is approaching the stage where the promotion will begin testing him against ranked competition.
- His well-rounded game — active takedowns paired with respectable striking output — makes him a difficult stylistic puzzle for opponents at any level.
- The identity of his next opponent, once confirmed, will clarify exactly where the UFC sees him in divisional pecking order.
The UFC has yet to officially announce the matchup, and further details are expected from the promotion in the coming days.
