Ullubiy Amirzhanov, a 23-year-old bantamweight from Dagestan, extended his undefeated record to 7-0 with another submission victory at UAE Warriors. Competing against Bruno Rocha, who entered with a 6-1 record, Amirzhanov secured a standing grip, dragged his opponent to the mat, and locked in a reverse arm triangle for the finish. All seven of his professional wins have come via stoppage, with six submissions including two guillotines, a D'Arce choke, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke. Amirzhanov trains under Abdulmanap's school and is the son of kickboxing and Muay Thai coach Anvarbek Amirzhanov. His creative and efficient submission game is gaining attention in regional MMA circuits.
Ullubiy Amirzhanov kept his perfect record intact at UAE Warriors, submitting Bruno Rocha to push his professional mark to 7-0 and extend one of the more eye-catching unbeaten runs in regional MMA.
The 23-year-old bantamweight from Dagestan secured the finish in characteristic fashion, establishing a standing grip, dragging Rocha to the canvas, and locking in a reverse arm triangle to force the stoppage. Rocha had entered the contest with a 6-1 record, making him a credible test for the young Russian prospect.
What stands out about Amirzhanov is not just the winning streak but the manner of every single victory. All seven of his professional fights have ended before the final bell, with six of those finishes coming by submission. His grappling vocabulary is already unusually wide for a fighter his age, with recorded wins by guillotine choke on two occasions, a D'Arce choke, a ninja choke, a rear-naked choke, and now a reverse arm triangle. The remaining stoppage came by TKO, meaning opponents have yet to see a scorecards against him.
The Dagestani comes from a martial arts background that runs deep. His father, Anvarbek Amirzhanov, is a kickboxing and Muay Thai coach, and the younger Amirzhanov trains under Abdulmanap's school, the same lineage that has produced some of the sport's most technically sound grapplers.
Why it matters
- A 7-0 record with seven stoppages and six submissions is rare at any level of the sport, let alone for a 23-year-old still competing on the regional circuit.
- The breadth of his finishing arsenal — spanning multiple choke variations — suggests a grappler who improvises rather than relies on a single technique.
- Continued performances at this level are likely to draw wider scouting attention as he approaches the top of the regional bantamweight landscape.
