Next fight booked
Ashkhabov will take on Joanderson Brito in a featherweight matchup at UFC Vegas 76 on July 1, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Askhabov entered the UFC last February with a spotless 23-0 record, but that was erased when he lost a unanimous decision to Jamall Emmers. Brito, meanwhile, has collected back-to-back first-round stoppage wins, though he hasn't fought since October of 2022. Brito has impressive offensive wrestling, but he can be taken down by a committed wrestler, as shown by his debut loss to Bill Algeo. Askhabov will likely look to get things to the mat, as 10 of his 23 pro victories have came by way of submission.
