Khasan Makhamsharipov, currently undefeated at 11-0, has signed a four-fight contract with PFL. The fighter also revealed the influence behind his brother Zabit Makhamsharipov's return to competition.
Khasan Makhamsharipov has signed a four-fight contract with the Professional Fighters League, the organization confirmed on July 2, 2026, adding an unbeaten prospect to its roster and bringing fresh attention to the Makhamsharipov name in combat sports.
The 11-0 fighter joins PFL with a perfect professional record intact, signaling the league's continued effort to sign undefeated talents before they reach the peak of their market value. Alongside announcing the deal, Khasan spoke about the family dynamic within the Makhamsharipov camp, revealing that relatives played a meaningful role in convincing his brother Zabit Makhamsharipov to return to competition after his extended absence from the sport.
Why it matters
- An 11-0 record gives PFL a legitimate unbeaten prospect to build programming around
- The reported family influence on Zabit's comeback adds a broader storyline connecting two fighters from the same household
- The four-fight structure gives Khasan a defined path to establish himself at the organizational level before testing free agency again
Zabit Makhamsharipov was once considered one of the most exciting featherweights in the world before stepping away from the sport, and any confirmation of his return would carry significant weight across the MMA landscape. Khasan's signing and his comments about family pressure on that decision suggest the two brothers may be charting parallel paths back into the spotlight simultaneously.
PFL has made a habit of targeting fighters with spotless records in recent years, and Khasan fits that profile precisely. With eleven wins and no losses to his name, he arrives with credibility and momentum, giving the league a fighter whose undefeated status remains a marketable asset heading into his first promotional appearances.
