Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani (2-0 in the UFC) and Farman Khasanov (1-0 in the UFC) will meet at UFC Vegas 123 on October 31 in Las Vegas.
Jean-Paul "Mufasa" Lebosnoyani and Farman Khasanov have been booked to face each other at UFC Vegas 123 on October 31 in Las Vegas.
Lebosnoyani enters the bout riding a perfect 2-0 start to his UFC career, part of an overall professional record of 11-2. The 27-year-old switch-stance fighter stands five-foot-eleven with a 72-inch reach and has shown well-rounded tools inside the octagon. He lands 4.14 significant strikes per minute at a 46 percent accuracy clip, while also threatening on the ground with 2.89 takedowns and 1.9 submission attempts per 15 minutes — a combination that makes him dangerous in multiple areas. Khasanov, meanwhile, arrives undefeated through his first UFC appearance at 1-0, though further verified data on his career stats and background were not available at the time of this report.
Why it matters
- Both fighters are unbeaten on the UFC roster, meaning the loser absorbs their first promotional setback while the winner builds momentum toward a divisional ranking.
- Lebosnoyani's blend of volume striking and active grappling sets up an intriguing stylistic test for any opponent.
- A Halloween-night slot on the UFC Vegas 123 card gives either man a strong platform for visibility heading into the back end of 2026.
