Bekzat Almakhan is set to compete at UFC Baku, with the Kazakh featherweight bringing a professional record of 12-4-0 into the cage for the upcoming event.
Almakhan, nicknamed "The Turan Warrior," is 28 years old and trains out of Triumph Fights in Kazakhstan. He stands five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance. Operating at 1.61 significant strikes landed per minute with a 34 percent striking accuracy, Almakhan profiles as a measured competitor who does not rely heavily on grappling, recording neither takedowns nor submission attempts of note in his UFC output to date.
Why it matters
- UFC Baku represents a high-profile platform for Almakhan to build his standing in the division
- At just 28 years old, he remains in the early stages of what could be a lengthy UFC career
- His measured striking style will be tested against the level of competition a UFC card demands
