It was in 2017 that Zabit made his UFC debut. He submitted Mike Santiago in the fight and won Performance of the Night on his debut itself.
Zabit’s second fight in the UFC was equally impressive as he secured a win over Sheymon Moraes via an anaconda choke. This win also earned him a performance of the night bonus.
He then defeated Kyle Bochniak and Brandon Davis at UFC 223 and UFC 228 respectively with both the fights earning praise from the MMA Community.
Zabit will now be pitted up against Jeremy Stephens at UFC 235 and it would be interesting to see if he can rise to the occasion and prove his doubters wrong.
