Javid Basharat Confirms UFC Release, Vows To Move Forward With “Standards Intact”

Basharat confirmed his exit in an Instagram post, writing, “My chapter with the UFC has come to a close… my standards intact.” The Afghan-born bantamweight went 5-2 with one no-contest in seven Octagon starts, losing only to Ricky Simon and Aiemann Zahabi. He added, “I carry myself with professionalism, discipline, and respect.” Now, a free agent, he’ll seek his next contract.
