The talented Dagestani middleweight joined the UFC last year and showcased his striking as he earned a unanimous decision win over Bruno Silva in his promotional debut. According to Red Corner MMA, he was recently granted an American visa, which would make him eligible to compete more frequently as the promotion hosts several domestic events in Las Vegas, Nevada.
