Ullubiy Amirzhanov extended his unbeaten professional record to seven fights with a submission victory over Bruno Rocha at UAE Warriors on May 10, 2026, finishing his opponent with a rare reverse arm triangle choke.
The 23-year-old Dagestani bantamweight secured the finish in striking fashion, catching the choke from a standing position before dragging Rocha to the mat and applying enough pressure to force the stoppage. The win keeps Amirzhanov's record a perfect 7-0, with every single victory coming by stoppage. Six of those seven wins have come by submission, demonstrating a diverse and polished grappling arsenal that includes guillotine chokes, an arm-in choke, a ninja choke, a rear-naked choke, and now a reverse arm triangle. The seventh stoppage rounds out the collection.
Rocha entered the contest with a record of 6-1, making him a credible opponent at this stage of Amirzhanov's development.
Amirzhanov trains at the school founded by Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, a lineage that carries significant weight in combat sports circles. His father, Anvarbek Amirzhanov, is a Muay Thai and kickboxing coach, giving the young fighter a well-rounded combat background from an early age.
Why it matters
- A 7-0 record with seven stoppages signals rare finishing instincts at bantamweight
- Training under the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov system places him within one of the sport's most respected development pipelines
- Six submission victories across multiple choke variations suggests genuine submission depth rather than reliance on a single technique
- At just 23 years old, Amirzhanov still has considerable room to grow before reaching his athletic prime
