15 Female Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2020

Liliya Shakirova (Flyweight)

27 | 5’4” | Uzbekistan | 8-1 | 4 Finishes | 3 KO/TKO, 1 Submission (RNC) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 24-10 | Best win – Bo Meng (10-4)

A fighter out of Uzbekistan, Liliya Shakirova has fought for the likes of WLF W.A.R.S and Fight Nights Global. In her most recent fight, she won the Gorilla Fighting Championship (GFC) flyweight title. Shakirova is better on the mat but is also impressive on the feet as well. She has really good movement sticking with kicks and circling out.

Shakirova finds home with her overhand-right often and is accurate with it. She is also a solid wresler with emphatic takedowns. On top, her ground and pound is relentless going to the body-head often.
