Saygid Izagakhmaev

Saygid Izagakhmaev's career is still in its ascent, but he has already achieved notable milestones. Winning the Gorilla Fighting welterweight title showcased his dominance on the regional scene. His submission of James Nakashima in his ONE debut and his TKO of Japanese legend Shinya Aoki stand as his most significant victories. These wins, combined with his undefeated streak in ONE (until his release), have established him as a legitimate threat in both lightweight and welterweight divisions. His move to the UFC in 2026 positions him to compete on the biggest stage, where he aims to follow the championship path of his mentor, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
