MUHAMMAD NAIMOV

Representing Tajikistan, Muhammad Naimov refined his martial arts skills through a taekwondo background. After launching his professional journey in 2018, he competed under the Titan FC banner before transitioning to the featherweight class within the UFC. His initial appearance for the organization resulted in a stoppage victory over Jamie Mullarkey, which earned him a performance bonus. The Elevation Fight Team member gained prior experience as a multifaceted athlete capable of ending contests by strikes or ground maneuvers.

Naimov enters this competition holding an overall record of 13-4-0. His performance history in recent appearances includes a unanimous decision win against Kaan Ofli followed by another scorecard victory over Bogdan Grad. However, he faced a setback in his most recent outing on December 6, 2025, when Mairon Santos defeated him via technical knockout. Earlier in that stretch, he experienced a submission defeat against Felipe Lima, which occurred shortly after his February 2024 stoppage win over Erik Silva.
