Ullubiy Amirzanov, a 23-year-old Dagestani fighter, secured another submission victory at UAE Warriors, defeating Bruno Rocha (6-1) via reverse arm triangle. Amirzanov took the hold from standing position, brought his opponent down, and finished the fight. He now holds a perfect 7-0 record in MMA with all seven wins coming by stoppage, six of them by submission using various techniques including guillotines, arm-in choke, ninja choke, and rear-naked choke. Fighting at bantamweight, Amirzanov is primarily a Thai boxer and son of Thai boxing and kickboxing coach Anvarbek Amirzanov. The post describes him as the most effective and creative submission artist developing in Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's school.
Ullubiy Amirzanov extended his perfect professional record to 7-0 with a striking submission finish at UAE Warriors, defeating Bruno Rocha by reverse arm triangle in what has become a signature style for the young Dagestani prospect.
Amirzanov, just 23 years old and fighting out of Dagestan, initiated the finish from a standing position before bringing Rocha to the mat and securing the choke for the stoppage. The victory marked his sixth submission win across seven professional bouts, a collection that spans an unusually wide range of techniques — guillotines, an arm-in choke, a ninja choke, a rear-naked choke, and now a reverse arm triangle. Every single one of his seven victories has come by stoppage.
Rocha entered the contest with a 6-1 record, making the finish all the more notable given his opponent's experience level.
Despite being primarily a Thai boxer — a discipline shaped by his father Anvarbek Amirzanov, a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach — Ullubiy has demonstrated a rare ability to blend striking fundamentals with creative grappling finishes. He is described as the most effective and creative submission artist currently developing within Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's school, a lineage that carries significant weight in combat sports circles.
Why it matters
- A 7-0 record with seven stoppages, six by submission, marks Amirzanov as one of the more complete young prospects at bantamweight
- His technical range on the ground — multiple distinct submission techniques across seven fights — is uncommon for a fighter whose base is striking
- A win over a previously once-beaten opponent in Rocha adds legitimate credibility to the unbeaten run
