Books fight for Abu Dhabi
Basharat will take on Chris Gutierrez in a bantamweight fight at UFC Abu Dhabi on Aug. 3, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Basharat started out his UFC career 3-0, but has not seen a win since January of 2023 as he fought to a no-contest back in October and most recently lost to Aiemann Zahabi in March. The 28-year-old from Afghanistan will take on a longer tenured UFC fighter in Gutierrez, who holds an 8-2-1 record since his debut in 2019.

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.

Fights to no-contest at UFC 294
Basharat and Victor Henry fought to a no-contest (accidental low blow) at 0:15 of Round 2 at UFC 294 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Basharat looked strong in the early going of this fight, which is expected when you enter as roughly a -600 favorite. He fired off a kick early in Round 2 that appeared to catch Henry in the groin. It may not have landed flush, but Victor went crashing to the mat and never improved despite taking the full five minutes to try to recover. Considering how much pain he was in, this fight had zero chance of ever continuing. It's a tough break for Javid, who certainly had a far better than even chance of picking up his fourth straight win to begin his UFC run. It would be far from shocking to see the company book these two again.
