Bekmyrza Dosmatov picked up one of the more eye-catching finishes of the regional calendar, stopping Mirali Huseynov in the final minute of the third round at Uriah Faber's A1 Combat promotion on June 28, 2026.
The victory moved Dosmatov to 14-3 in the welterweight division and added further momentum to a career that observers have begun to watch with genuine interest. The finish came late in the fight, making it all the more dramatic, and the performance has drawn conversation around Dosmatov as a potential future UFC contender at 170 pounds.
Huseynov arrived at the event carrying a piece of notoriety that extends well beyond his professional record. He is widely recognized for a viral gym knockout of Kevin Lee, the 33-year-old American welterweight known as The Motown Phenom. Lee, who trains out of Tristar Gym and carries an 18-8 record, is a former UFC title challenger who averages 3.88 significant strikes per minute and a notable 3.18 takedowns per 15 minutes. That Huseynov had previously finished a fighter of Lee's caliber in a training setting gave the matchup an added layer of intrigue going in.
