With a controversial victory over Kai Kara-France over the weekend, Amir Albazi moved up four places in the UFC flyweight division rankings, displacing his rival in third place.
The Iraqi fighter is ahead of former division champion Deiveson Figueredo in first place, as well as Alejandra Pantozha, who will challenge reigning title holder Brandon Moreno on July 8 at UFC 290 in Las Vegas.
The only representative of Russia in the ranking of this weight category is Tagir Ulanbekov, who occupies the fourteenth line in the top 15 of the flyweight division.
Recall that the fight between Kai Kara-France and Amir Albazi, who headed the UFC on ESPN 46 tournament in Las Vegas, went the whole distance and ended with the defeat of the New Zealander by a split decision.
