#3. Aliaskhab 'The Black Wolf' Khizriev
Finally making his UFC debut this weekend, Aliaskhab Khizriev has the potential to become the new rising star of the middleweight division. Khizriev submitted Henrique Shiguemoto inside the first minute of round one in his contender series bout, instantly setting himself up for a future in the UFC.
Khizriev had three fights in 2021 cancelled, and even had his initially scheduled fight with Abusupiyan Magomedov this weekend fall through. 'The Black Wolf' now faces Denis Tiuliulin, who steps up on short notice.
Khizriev holds a record of 13-0, and has finished seven of those fights inside the distance. The majority of his fights have been against opponents with solid records, and the odds have him heavily favored to start his UFC career in emphatic fashion.
