Tajik fighter Muin Gafurov, who plays in the bantamweight division, has signed a contract with the strongest league in the world, in which he will make his debut on June 3 at UFC on ESPN 46 in Las Vegas.

Also, a native of Tajikistan has performed in organizations such as ONE Championship, ACB and UAE Warriors. In total, Gafurov has nineteen professional victories, including eighteen early ones, and four defeats by judicial decisions.
