Ullubiy Amirzanov improved to 7-0 in his MMA career with a submission victory over Bruno Rocha at UAE Warriors. The 23-year-old Dagestani fighter from Abdulmanap's school secured a reverse arm triangle choke after taking the fight to the ground. All seven of Amirzanov's victories have been finishes, with six coming by submission including guillotines, an arm-in choke, ninja choke, and rear-naked choke. Competing at bantamweight, Amirzanov is the son of Thai boxing and kickboxing coach Anvarbek Amirzanov and specializes in creative submission techniques.
A 23-year-old Dagestani prospect continued his rise through the regional MMA scene on May 10, 2026, as Ullubiy Amirzanov submitted Bruno Rocha at UAE Warriors to push his professional record to a perfect seven wins and zero losses.
Amirzanov secured the finish via a reverse arm triangle choke after dragging the fight to the mat, a trademark of the young bantamweight's game. The victory was his seventh consecutive finish, with six of those seven coming by way of submission. His finishing arsenal spans an impressive range of grappling techniques, including guillotines, an arm-in choke, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke, underscoring a creative and technical approach on the ground that sets him apart from most fighters at his experience level.
Trained out of Abdulmanap's school in Dagestan, Amirzanov carries a strong combat sports pedigree. His father, Anvarbek Amirzanov, is a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach, and that background in striking has clearly done nothing to slow the younger Amirzanov's appetite for submission work once the fight hits the canvas.
Why it matters
- A seven-and-oh record with all finishes signals genuine finishing power rather than decision-based accumulation.
- The variety of submission holds Amirzanov has used suggests deep grappling knowledge that will be difficult for opponents to gameplan against.
- At just 23 years old, Amirzanov remains early in his development, giving him significant room to grow before potentially pursuing a UFC or major promotion contract.
- UAE Warriors continues to serve as a proving ground for Dagestani prospects, and a perfect finish rate draws attention from scouts at the highest level.
