Ullubiy Amirzanov pushed his undefeated professional record to 7-0 on May 10, 2026, submitting Bruno Rocha at UAE Warriors to claim his seventh consecutive finish inside the distance.
Amirzanov, a 23-year-old bantamweight from Dagestan, secured the victory with a reverse arm triangle after dragging the fight to the canvas from a standing position. The finish was a further display of the grappling creativity that has defined his young career. All seven of his wins have come by stoppage, six of those by submission. His collection of finishes includes two guillotines, an arm-in choke, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke, a varied submission vocabulary that is unusual for a fighter whose background is rooted in striking. Amirzanov is the son of Anvarbek Amirzanov, a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach, making his ground-based dominance all the more striking.
Rocha entered the contest with a 6-1 record, giving the matchup genuine credibility, but he was unable to keep the fight standing or defend once it hit the mat.
Why it matters
- A 7-0 record with seven finishes at age 23 puts Amirzanov among the more compelling bantamweight prospects outside the major promotions.
- His ability to blend a striking pedigree with creative, high-level submission work makes him a difficult stylistic puzzle for opponents at regional level.
- The UAE Warriors platform has consistently served as a pipeline to larger organizations, meaning a run like this invites wider promotional attention.
- Rocha's 6-1 record ensured this was not a soft win, lending further weight to the undefeated streak.
