Hailing from Akzhar, Kazakhstan, orthodox bantamweight Bekzat Almakhan has competed professionally since 2018. Known as the "Turan Warrior," he trains in Almaty with DDV Team 777. Almakhan relies on a background in karate and boxing to power his striking-heavy style, which has produced notable knockout victories over opponents like Yan Ferraz and Brad Katona.
Heading into UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez on August 1, 2026, Almakhan carries a 10-4-0 record. His recent stretch includes knockout wins against Ferraz and Katona, but he has also dropped three unanimous decisions. These defeats came against Umar Nurmagomedov in 2024, Aleksandre Topuria in late 2025, and most recently, Jean Matsumoto in June 2026.
