Ullubiy Amirzhnov extended his undefeated record to 7-0 with another creative submission victory at UAE Warriors. The 23-year-old Dagestani defeated Bruno Rocha (6-1 before the fight) by securing a standing grip, taking his opponent down, and finishing with a reverse arm triangle choke. All seven of Amirzhnov's professional wins have come via stoppage, with six by submission including two guillotines, a D'Arce choke, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke. Training at Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's school, Amirzhnov competes in the bantamweight division and comes from a striking background as the son of Muay Thai and kickboxing coach Anvarbek Amirzhnov.
Ullubiy Amirzhnov kept his perfect professional record intact at UAE Warriors, submitting Bruno Rocha with a reverse arm triangle choke to move to 7-0 on May 10, 2026.
The 23-year-old bantamweight from Dagestan engineered the finish with sharp positional awareness, securing a standing grip, dragging Rocha to the mat, and locking in the choke for the tap. It was another demonstration of the varied submission game that has defined his young career.
All seven of Amirzhnov's professional victories have come by stoppage, six of them via submission. His finishing arsenal spans guillotines, a D'Arce choke, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke, with the reverse arm triangle now added to that collection. Despite coming from a striking background — his father, Anvarbek Amirzhnov, is a Muay Thai and kickboxing coach — he has shown a clear preference for ending fights on the ground. He trains at the school founded by Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the legendary coach whose methods produced some of Dagestan's most decorated fighters.
Rocha entered the bout at 6-1 and was unable to solve Amirzhnov's grappling pressure.
Why it matters
- A seven-fight stoppage streak, six by submission, signals elite finishing ability at the regional level.
- The breadth of submissions — guillotine, D'Arce, ninja choke, rear-naked choke, reverse arm triangle — suggests a deep and versatile ground game rather than reliance on a single technique.
- A striking pedigree combined with high-level Dagestani wrestling coaching makes Amirzhnov a well-rounded prospect worth monitoring as he pushes toward larger organizations.
