FARID BASHARAT

Afghan-born British bantamweight Farid Basharat has built an unblemished career since his professional debut in 2016. Fighting from an orthodox stance out of Xtreme Couture, "Ferocious" entered the UFC after honing his versatile skills on the English regional circuit. He has demonstrated a well-rounded fighting style, securing key victories through both submissions and decisions.

Basharat carries a perfect 11-0 record into his matchup at UFC 329. His recent five-fight run highlights his dominance, beginning with consecutive rear-naked choke submissions of Janne Elonen-Kulmala and Raul Guzman. He then earned a decision victory against Allan Begosso. In 2023, the undefeated competitor secured a unanimous decision over Da'Mon Blackshear before submitting Kleydson Rodrigues with an arm-triangle choke.
