No further details about the matchup were provided.
Nurullo Aliev has announced via social media that he has signed a contract for his next UFC appearance, though the undefeated Tajik prospect stopped short of revealing his opponent or when the bout will take place.
Aliev, known as the Tajik Eagle, enters his next assignment with a perfect 11-0-0 professional record, including a flawless 3-0 run inside the UFC octagon. The 25-year-old from Tajikistan stands five-foot-ten with a 72-inch reach and competes out of an orthodox stance. His numbers reflect a well-rounded approach to the game — he lands 2.72 significant strikes per minute at a 44 percent accuracy rate while also generating 2.12 takedowns per 15 minutes, giving opponents problems both on the feet and on the mat.
Why it matters
- Aliev remains one of the UFC's few unbeaten fighters across all 11 professional bouts, which keeps his promotional value high and his matchmaking options wide open.
- A 3-0 UFC start at just 25 years old positions him as a genuine rising contender, and whichever opponent is eventually named will face significant pressure heading into the fight.
- His blend of striking output and takedown activity makes him a difficult stylistic puzzle, which could influence which direction the UFC chooses to point him next.
The announcement was made directly to fans on social media, suggesting the deal is finalized even if promotional confirmation has not yet followed. Further details on the matchup are expected once the UFC makes an official announcement.
