He won the bout via TKO due to a corner stoppage.[5] In 2020, he suffered his first defeat at Bushido Kazakhstan - Grand Prix of Bushido Qazaqstan, losing to fighter Sultan Zholdoshbek.[6]
Sherdog's stats
In the past, Almakhan's record on the site totaled 17 wins and one loss, but the Sherdog team reduced it to 11–1 after it was discovered that a number of victories were not won under the rules of classical MMA.[7]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Almakhan was offered a contract by the UFC to go up against undefeated prospect Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC Fight Night 238 on March 2, 2024.[8] After Almahan sent Nurmagomedov to the knockdown early in the first round, Nurmagomedov got the upper hand and dominated on the ground with strikes for most of the fight, resulting in Almahan losing by unanimous decision.[9]
