Books fight for Abu Dhabi

Falls as monumental favorite
Basharat lost to Aiemann Zahabi via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Suffering your first professional loss as a -1000 favorite is, quite honestly, impressive. Basharat was the better man for exactly one round. After that, he allowed Zahabi to land with more frequency and more authority. The fact Javid failed on all four of his takedown attempts didn't help, either. Plenty of knowledgable people felt Basharat was a real up-and-comer at bantamweight, but this result, with no disrespect to Zahabi, says otherwise. Javid had been undefeated in his first four UFC bouts (3-0, 1NC), but those wins came over Trevin Jones, Tony Gravely and Mateus Mendonca. That's not exactly the top of the food chain at 135 pounds.

Fighting Zahabi in March
Basharat is scheduled to face Aiemann Zahabi in a bantamweight bout at the UFC's March 2 event in Saudi Arabia, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Basharat remains a perfect 14-0 for his MMA career after most recently drawing a no-contest against Victor Henry in October. The 28-year-old will certainly be tested by Zahabi, who comes into the bout riding a respectable three-fight win streak.
