Hailing from Akzhar, Kazakhstan, orthodox bantamweight Bekzat Almakhan, nicknamed "Turan Warrior," built his combat foundation on karate and boxing. Representing DDV Team 777 out of Almaty, Almakhan established himself in the UFC through dangerous striking, highlighted by a TKO against Yan Ferraz and a punch knockout of Brad Katona.
Entering UFC Fight Night: du Plessis vs. Usman with a 5-3-0 record, Almakhan has experienced mixed results in his recent outings. He earned a TKO against Yan Ferraz but then lost a decision to Umar Nurmagomedov. After rebounding with a knockout victory over Brad Katona, he dropped back-to-back unanimous decisions against Aleksandre Topuria and Jean Matsumoto.
