Farid Basharat Confirms Departure from UFC After Successful Streak

Farid Basharat has confirmed that he is no longer with the UFC following the completion of his contract. The bantamweight fighter, who boasts an undefeated record of 16-0, finished his tenure with a victory at UFC 329 in July.

Fans were surprised by the news of Basharat's release, which was announced on social media. In his statement, he reflected on his successful run in the UFC, where he achieved a 7-0 record, and expressed disappointment over not being offered a new contract or opponent since his last fight.

Basharat, who joined the UFC after impressing Dana White in September 2022, has been recognized as a top contender in his division. His release is speculated to be linked to the lack of finishes in his fights. Multiple fight promotions are expected to pursue him in the coming weeks.
