4 months agoMuhammad Naimov (8-2), a rising prospect from Tajikistan, recently signed with the UFC and is set to face Jamie Mullarkey on Saturday. Naimov will be moving up a weight class for his UFC debut, as all of his other fights prior were at featherweight. He is 3-1 since he fell short on Dana White's Contender Series in September of 2020. "Hillman" is on a three-fight winning streak and most recently scored a head-kick knockout. DraftKings still sees Naimov as a big favorite with a salary of $6,500. Naimov has been mentally and physically preparing for a call from the UFC since his Contender Series appearance and is fully aware that he might be offered a short-notice opportunity.--Alen Kurbasic - RotoBaller
