10 Light Heavyweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2023

Ibo “The Last Ottoman” Aslan

26 | 6’2″ | Vienna, Austria | 10-1 | 10 Finishes | 10 KO/TKOs | Combined Opponents’ Record: 37-51 | Best Win – Robert Valentin (7-3)

I featured Aslan on this site back in 2020. He did fall a few steps back when he lost to Anton Turkalj. That’s not a bad loss since Anton is in the UFC. Since that loss, Aslan has won two more fights. Even with a good record, he’s still an underrated prospect out of Turkey. Aslan is a former Austrian FC and the Vendetta champion.

His only loss is to Turkalj and he was winning up until things went south. Aslan has good striking and a lot of power followed by speed and athleticism. He would be a perfect addition for the UFC’s international cards as they are finally expanding again.
