10 Flyweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2021

Azamat Kerefov

29 | 5’9″ | Nalchik, Russia | 14-0 | 4 Finishes | 3 KO/TKOs, 1 Submission (Armbar) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 104-28-1 | Best Win – Kurban Gadzhiev (16-2)

The undefeated Russian is the current reigning ACA champion. That being said it’s possible his contract with ACA could hold him back. Over the last three years, he’s fought and proved himself under the ACA banner fighting nothing but top-level competition. He’s in the running as the best flyweight outside of the UFC.

On the feet, Kerefov has good dirty boxing, dangerous kicks, and a laser-accurate straight left. He is as good of a wrestler as he is a striker, and has a gas tank to go five rounds. His takedown defense needs some work but has good grappling and get-up ability. Azamat was very impressive in his last showing.
