Ikram Aliskerov - News & Rumors - UFC

Next bout scheduled Aliskerov will face Brunno Ferreira on June 27th at UFC Baku in Azerbaijan, href="https://x.com/BigMarcel24/status/2034433604281827357">Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.

Impact Aliskerov has bounced back nicely since his first organizational loss to Robert Whitaker in June of 2024, winning his next two fights. He will look to get back on a winning streak against Ferreira, who is explosive and powerful, but is coming off a brutal knockout loss at the hands of Gregory Rodrigues earlier this month.

Grapples way to easy win Aliskerov defeated Jun Yong Park via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 321 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.

Impact With Khabib Nurmagomedov in his corner for the first time in his UFC career, Aliskerov flipped the switch and leaned on his wrestling game for success. Ikram was actually the better man on the feet early on, but he quickly gassed and found himself in survival mode much of the second half of the fight. A few well-timed takedowns, particularly in Round 3, ended up being the difference. Aliskerov had displayed massive power early in his UFC run, so if these grappling improvements are here to stay, he should remain a real threat at 185 pounds moving forward if he can improve the cardio just a little bit.

Impact Aliskerov will head into the bout looking to build positive momentum coming off his recent TKO victory over Andre Muniz in April. The 6-foot Russian fighter will take advantages in both height and reach into the fight over the older Korean. Aliskerov has a balanced professional record across all finishes, though Park is able to say the same, setting the stage for what could be a very interesting fight.

Easily dispatches Andre Muniz Aliskerov defeated Andre Muniz via TKO (punches) at 4:54 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Kansas City.

Impact These two were originally scheduled to fight in early February in Saudi Arabia, at which point Muniz withdrew due to a passport issue. The finally got it on here and Aliskerov left zero doubt who was the better man. Ikram kept things standing and predictably dominated, hurting Muniz with power shots before finally managing to put him away with just seconds to go in Round 1. The 32-year-old Russian is now 3-1 in the UFC, with all three wins coming via knockout. He has two career losses in 18 pro bouts, and they came against Robert Whittaker (in the UFC) and Khamzat Chimaev (in Brave CF). Aliskerov is deserving of another step up in competition.
