Ullubiy Amirzhanov extended his undefeated record to 7-0 with another submission victory, defeating Bruno Rocha (6-1) at UAE Warriors via a standing rear-hand triangle choke. The 23-year-old Dagestani fighter has finished all seven of his professional opponents, with six victories coming by submission, including guillotines, a bare-naked choke, a ninja choke, and rear-naked choke. Amirzhanov competes at bantamweight and trains at Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's school. He is the son of Thai boxing and kickboxing coach Anvarbek Amirzhanov, with a Thai boxing background himself.
Ullubiy Amirzhanov pushed his perfect professional record to 7-0 on May 10, 2026, submitting Bruno Rocha at UAE Warriors with a standing rear-hand triangle choke to extend one of the more remarkable finishing streaks in regional MMA.
The 23-year-old bantamweight from Dagestan has now finished all seven of his professional opponents, six of them by submission. His grappling arsenal has proven diverse and creative, with victories coming via guillotine choke, bare-naked choke, ninja choke, and rear-naked choke, in addition to the standing rear-hand triangle he used to put away Rocha, who entered the contest at 6-1.
Amirzhanov trains at the school founded by the late Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the legendary coach whose methods produced some of the most accomplished grapplers in MMA history. The lineage shows in Amirzhanov's technical submission game. His background adds another dimension as well — his father, Anvarbek Amirzhanov, is a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach, and Ullubiy carries a striking foundation from that discipline alongside his Dagestani wrestling and grappling.
Why it matters
- Seven finishes from seven fights signals elite finishing instinct at just 23 years old
- Six submission wins across multiple choke variations point to advanced, adaptable grappling rather than a single go-to technique
- Training under the Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov system places Amirzhanov in a proven pipeline for developing world-class talent
- A Thai boxing background combined with high-level submission grappling makes him a stylistically complete prospect at bantamweight
