The Read
Style, strengths, and where this fighter stands.
Temirov is an Uzbek flyweight finisher whose record is built around fast punching stoppages and a compact UFC sample. Sherdog lists him at 19-3 with eleven knockout or TKO wins, one submission and seven decisions, and his first two UFC appearances were a debut TKO of C.J. Vergara followed by a decision over Charles Johnson.
The Erceg fight is also a return checkpoint. MMA Fighting reported that Temirov received a one-year UFC anti-doping suspension beginning July 5, 2025, making him eligible to compete again on or after July 5, 2026, so the Abu Dhabi booking is his first listed fight after that layoff.
