As one-half of arguably the best pair of brothers in MMA, Javid Basharat returns at UFC Vegas 87 against the surging Aiemann Zahabi in what projects to be an interesting matchup at bantamweight.
Basharat, 14-0, enters the fight off a disappointing and unusual no-contest against Victor Henry at UFC 294. It will be his second time at the UFC APEX in as many months after cornering his brother, Farid, to a unanimous decision victory on Jan. 13.
Zahabi, 10-2, has won three straight, including a show-stopping one-minute knockout of Aori Qileng at UFC 289. The Canadian enters the fight 4-2 in the UFC but a significant underdog to the undefeated Basharat.
