Farid Basharat
Bantamweight | 23 | England but from Afghanistan | 8-0 | Win Streak: 12 | 1 KO/TKO, 5 Submissions
Farid Basharat is the brother of newer UFC fighter and Contender Series contract winner Javid Basharat, who appeared last season. Just like his brother Farid has tons of upside being a really good talent with a high ceiling. On the feet, Basharat fights comfortably with his hands low relying on counters and movement. He also switches stances frequently and uses a lot of backward movement. Basharat mainly fights in bursts when standing, throwing many flying knees. That said, he takes a lot of risks.
Basharat has excellent kickboxing and a wide diverse attack. He’s stronger on the mat and to get it there he has a good single leg and trips along the cage. Jiu-jitsu is his best weapon even if that is just with control or winning important scrambles. I’d bet we see him on the Contender Series this summer.

Adam Fugitt
Welterweight | 33 | Eugene, Oregon, US | 8-2 | Win Streak: 4 | 4 KO/TKOs, 3 Submissions
Fugitt made a huge impression in his last fight. He knocked out Solomon Renfro, a fan favorite that fought last season on the Contender Series. Fugitt has an in-your-face style. His striking is awkward but he throws a lot of output, and has a wide array of weapons. He’s an even better wrestler and a strong submission grappler. A diverse well-rounded style that makes for good fights. Fugitt is 33 but deserves an opportunity.
