Undefeated featherweight Razhabali Shaidullaev is two fights away from completing his RIZIN contract, with a move to the UFC expected to follow once he fulfils his current obligations.
Shaidullaev carries a perfect 18-0 record into his remaining RIZIN commitments. The unbeaten featherweight has built his reputation on the Japanese promotion's platform, and sources indicate the UFC is the anticipated destination once his deal expires.
Why it matters
- An 18-0 prospect arriving in the UFC featherweight division would immediately draw attention from ranked contenders and matchmakers alike.
- RIZIN has regularly served as a proving ground for fighters who later make a significant impact in the UFC, and Shaidullaev's undefeated record would make him one of the more high-profile arrivals in recent memory.
- How he performs in his final two RIZIN appearances will shape exactly where the UFC slots him into the division upon his arrival.
