10 Featherweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2023

Islam Omarov

25 | 5’8″ | Dagestan, Russia | 12-0 | 7 Finishes | 2 KO/TKOs, 5 Submissions | Combined Opponents’ Record: 86-23 | Best Win – Bibert Tumenov (10-1)

Omarov may be a bit of wishful thinking but if his ACA contract ends this year it’s a must for the UFC to bring him in. Omarov is one of the best prospects from Russia which is saying a lot for how loaded that place is with talent. He’s fought some really good fighters and never fought anyone with a losing record.

Omarov is an excellent wrestler and he strikes well to wrestle. He’s always moving and always throwing to break his opponents down. Omarov has a solid gas tank and with the constant forward pressure, it’s very impressive.

“I will become the champion of ASA and then my goal is the UFC belt,” Omarov told Cageside Press.
