Remains perfect in UFC
Basharat defeated Taylor Lapilus via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Basharat remains undefeated as a professional and perfect in three fights with the UFC. Recognizing the striking skills of his opponent, Farid fired off a whopping 16 takedown attempts. Five of them landed, good for a 31-percent clip and 6:58 worth of control time. He was never close to earning the stoppage, but it was quite clear that Basharat would be cruising to the unanimous decision win. Both Farid and his brother Javid are legitimate prospects, and their long-term ceilings have only been raised since arriving in Las Vegas and training with the likes of Dewey Cooper and Jake Shields on a daily basis.

Scheduled against Lapilus
Basharat will compete against Taylor Lapilus in a bantamweight fight at UFC Vegas 83 on Jan. 13, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Basharat will look to begin 2024 the same way he commenced 2023. At UFC 285 that year, he logged his promotional debut and defeated Da'Mon Blackshear. Basharat finished off the year by submitting Kleydson Rodrigues.

Maintains undefeated pro record
Basharat defeated Kleydson Rodrigues via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Basharat looked pretty good in taking a unanimous decision from Da'Mon Blackshear -- who has looked great in his past two fights -- this past March and put forth an even better performance against Rodrigues. He connected on 2-of-5 takedowns attempts and racked up 3:15 worth of control time in a bout which lasted barely four minutes. He looked exceedingly comfortably on the mat in searching for the arm-triangle choke which closed the show. The 26-year-old is absolutely a fighter to keep an eye on at 135 pounds moving forward.
