Farman Hasanov

Hasanov's first UFC appearance went the full 15 minutes, and he left Baku with a unanimous decision over Eric Nolan rather than the quick stoppage pace that marked much of his regional run. The result still fit the bigger picture: it moved him to 6-0 and showed he could bank rounds cleanly when the finish did not materialize.

Key moments

• The fight went all three rounds and required the judges for the first time since February 2024.
• Hasanov stayed unbeaten by winning a unanimous decision in his Octagon debut.
• The result pushed his record to 6-0 after entering the UFC off a 5-0 regional start.
• It also extended the run that had already included a 3-0 stint in LFA.

Hasanov nearly closed the opening round before the cageside doctor ended the fight, giving him a late first-round stoppage in his final appearance before the UFC call. Because the break came at 4:58, the win matters as proof he could keep his pace and damage up deep into the round, not only in quick bursts.

Key moments

• The stoppage came with only two seconds left in round one.
• Hasanov earned the win by doctor stoppage rather than a referee wave-off.
• It was his second straight TKO victory in 2025.
• The result completed the regional run that led directly into the Baku debut.

Hasanov put Lewis away with punches in the second round, a cleaner finishing performance than the doctor stoppage that followed later that year. This was the first half of the back-to-back 2025 TKO stretch highlighted on his UFC page, and it helped turn an unbeaten prospect into a real UFC candidate.

Key moments

• The finish came at 3:28 of round two after Lewis had already survived the first.
• Hasanov won this one by punches, not by decision or doctor intervention.
• It opened the two-fight 2025 stoppage streak noted in his official UFC bio.
• The victory kept his LFA run perfect before the November follow-up.

Hasanov went all three rounds with Roberts and won a unanimous decision, giving his record an important non-finishing data point before the 2025 knockout run. It showed the unbeaten file was not built only on quick exits; he could also hold control and structure over a full regional fight.

Key moments

• The fight went the full 15 minutes and ended on the scorecards.
• Hasanov remained unbeaten with his second career decision win.
• This was his only fight between the 2022 start and the two LFA stoppages in 2025.
• The result kept his momentum intact while broadening the shape of his record.

Hasanov's second documented pro fight ended when Sariev could not continue after the opening round, giving him another stoppage and helping explain how quickly the finishing numbers stacked up early. It also confirmed that the debut win over Emil Salimov was not a one-off regional result before the LFA move came later.

Key moments

• The fight ended at the close of round one rather than in open action during round two.
• Hasanov was credited with a retirement TKO over Sariev.
• The win moved him to 2-0 as a professional only four weeks after his debut.
• It kept his first-year run entirely on the stoppage side.

Hasanov's documented pro debut lasted only 47 seconds, with Tapology and ESPN both listing a first-round TKO of Emil Salimov at Ased Fighting Championship's Selection 2 card in Baku. The official Ased Fighting Championship upload confirms the matchup, and the result set the tone for the fast-starting regional run that eventually carried Hasanov through LFA and into the UFC.

Key moments

• Tapology and ESPN record a first-round TKO at 0:47
• Official Ased Fighting Championship footage exists for the debut matchup
• Started the unbeaten run with an immediate stoppage in Azerbaijan
