Hasan Makhachev-Sharipov has improved his professional record to 11-0 and has signed a four-fight contract with PFL. He also revealed that he was instrumental in convincing his brother Zabit to return to competition.
Unbeaten prospect Hasan Makhachev-Sharipov has agreed to a four-fight contract with the Professional Fighters League, the organization confirmed, marking a significant step forward for one of MMA's most closely watched undefeated talents.
Makhachev-Sharipov arrives at PFL carrying a perfect 11-0 professional record. The signing represents a meaningful platform upgrade for a fighter who has built his unblemished mark largely outside the sport's biggest stages. Four fights under the PFL banner will give him the opportunity to test himself against a deeper pool of competition and, potentially, compete in the organization's lucrative tournament format.
Beyond his own career news, Makhachev-Sharipov made a notable disclosure alongside the announcement, revealing that he played a direct role in persuading his brother Zabit to return to active competition. Zabit Makhachev-Sharipov, a fan favorite known for his dynamic striking and acrobatic style, has been away from the cage for an extended period, and the prospect of his comeback will generate considerable interest across the MMA community.
Why it matters
- An 11-0 record gives PFL a legitimate unbeaten prospect to build storylines around in his respective division.
- The four-fight structure means Makhachev-Sharipov could be positioned for a PFL tournament run, where a single season can dramatically elevate a fighter's profile and earning power.
- Zabit's potential return, reportedly influenced by his brother, adds a separate layer of intrigue for fans who have long awaited news of the elder Makhachev-Sharipov's comeback.
- The signing continues PFL's ongoing effort to recruit fighters with recognizable surnames and strong fan bases tied to established MMA markets.
