Bekzat Almakhan delivered a highlight-reel moment at UFC Baku on June 27, dropping his opponent with a sharp combination to score a knockdown in what is a live broadcast on Paramount+.
Almakhan, known as The Turan Warrior, enters the bout carrying a 12-4-0 professional record. The 28-year-old from Kazakhstan trains out of Triumph Fights and brings an orthodox stance into the cage. Standing five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach, he is a compact striker who works behind his hands, averaging 1.61 significant strikes landed per minute. The knockdown underscores his ability to generate finishing power despite those numbers suggesting a methodical rather than high-volume approach.
Why it matters
- The knockdown adds a signature moment to Almakhan's UFC resume and could accelerate his rise within his division.
- A finish, should he close out the fight, would mark a significant step forward for the Kazakhstani prospect.
- The live nature of the bout means the final result is still unfolding, making the knockdown an immediate talking point across the card.
