Ikram Aliskerov, a middleweight fighter for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), was born on December 7, 1992. He is a Russian mixed martial artist and combat sambo fighter.
In combat sambo, Aliskerov has won four world championships: the Fédération Internationale Amateur de Sambo (FIAS), the World Combat Sambo Federation (WCSF), the European Sambo Federation (ESF), and the European Combat Sambo Federation (ECSF).
Then, in 2017, after signing a contract with the Brave Combat Federation, Aliskerov dedicated himself entirely to this sport. On April 29, 2017, at BCF 6, he was supposed to make his promotional debut against Will Fleury. Rufat Asadov took Fleury's place after he was forced to withdraw from the fight. He won the fight in the opening round by submission.
Aliskerov faced Nah-Shon Burrell at Eagle FC 46 on March 11, 2022. At weigh-ins, Ikram Aliskerov was 0.2 pounds over the middleweight non-title limit and failed to make weight for his fight.
The fight was therefore held in the catchweight division, and Aliskerov was given a fine from Burrell that was paid from a portion of his winnings. He won the fight by a unanimous decision.
On September 13, 2022, Aliskerov faced Mário Sousa at Dana White's Contender Series 54. He won the fight in the first round by kimura submission, earning him a UFC contract. At UFC 288 on May 6, 2023, Aliskerov took on Phil Hawes and won by first-round knockout.
Aliskerov was scheduled to fight Paulo Costa at UFC 291 on July 29, 2023. On July 19, it was disclosed that the promotion has chosen to have him compete against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC 294 on October 21, 2023, rather than carry forward with the proposed pairing.
Imavov withdrew due to issues with his visa, and Warlley Alves replaced him. Aliskerov locked horns with Alves at UFC 294 and defeated him by a first-round TKO to win the fight.
