Representing Kazakhstan, Asu Almabayev competes within the flyweight division. The orthodox fighter operates out of the DAR Pro Team training facility, having built a professional foundation that includes training in wrestling, boxing, karate, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. His background features an interim title reign from his time in M-1 Global. During his tenure in the UFC, he has earned two Performance of the Night honors while collecting notable victories against competitors such as Matheus Nicolau, Alex Perez, and Ode' Osbourne.
Heading into this matchup, Almabayev maintains an overall professional record of 24-3-0. He enters the contest riding a three-fight winning streak, having recently secured victories over Charles Johnson via Suloev stretch, Alex Perez through a guillotine choke, and Jose Ochoa by unanimous decision. This follows his March 2025 defeat to Manel Kape.
