Ullubiy Amirzhanov improved to 7-0 with another submission victory at UAE Warriors, defeating Bruno Rocha via reverse arm triangle. The 23-year-old Dagestani fighter, who trains at Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's school, secured the finish after taking his opponent down from a standing position. All seven of Amirzhanov's victories have come by stoppage, with six by submission including two guillotines, a Peruvian necktie, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke. He competes in the bantamweight division and comes from a striking background, being the son of Thai boxing and kickboxing coach Anvarbek Amirzhanov.
Ullubiy Amirzhanov extended his perfect professional record to 7-0 on May 10, 2026, submitting Bruno Rocha via reverse arm triangle at a UAE Warriors event to claim yet another stoppage victory.
The 23-year-old bantamweight from Dagestan, Russia, has now finished every single opponent he has faced as a professional. Six of those seven wins have come by submission, a collection that already spans a guillotine choke, a Peruvian necktie, a ninja choke, a rear-naked choke, and a second guillotine, with the reverse arm triangle against Rocha adding to that varied finishing repertoire. The seventh victory came by stoppage as well, leaving his record without a single decision. Against Rocha, Amirzhanov initiated the finish from the feet, securing a takedown before transitioning to the choke on the ground.
Despite his submission-heavy résumé, Amirzhanov comes from a striking pedigree. His father, Anvarbek Amirzhanov, is a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach, giving the young fighter an athletic foundation that bridges stand-up combat and grappling. He trains at the school founded by the late Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the legendary coach whose methods helped shape some of Dagestan's most accomplished mixed martial artists.
Why it matters
- A 7-0 record with seven stoppages marks Amirzhanov as one of the more eye-catching unbeaten prospects in the bantamweight division.
- His submission variety — five distinct finishing techniques across six submission wins — signals genuine grappling creativity rather than reliance on a single technique.
- A background under the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov school places him within one of combat sport's most respected development environments, adding credibility to his rapid rise.
