Ikram Aliskerov defeated Brunno Ferreira by unanimous decision at UFC Baku on Saturday, yardbarker.com reported. The Dagestani middleweight controlled Ferreira on the mat and held up in standup exchanges to improve to 5-1 inside the octagon. Aliskerov told the UFC in his post-fight interview that he wants a marquee opponent at the promotion's October event in Abu Dhabi.
"Next what I need is big loud fight, a big name," he said. "At least one fight at the end of the year. So, I'm thinking Abu Dhabi for me, in October, works perfectly. " Aliskerov deferred the choice of opponent to matchmaker Mick Maynard and executive Hunter Campbell.
The 31-year-old holds an 18-2 overall professional record. His only UFC loss came against former champion Robert Whittaker. Aliskerov joined the UFC in 2023 after dropping a decision to Khamzat Chimaev outside the promotion.
The UFC typically holds its annual Abu Dhabi card in October, which would give Aliskerov a four-month turnaround from his Baku appearance.
