UFC has officially signed heavyweight Amir Aliakbari to their promotion. MMA TV would announce the news via Instagram:
The heavyweight prospect enters the promotion with a strong five-fight winning streak, with his last and only loss taking place back in December 2016. Aliakbari has previously picked up victories over UFC veterans Daniel Omielanczuk and Heath Herring. Aliakbari's professional MMA record is 10 wins and 1 loss.
There is no word yet on when Aliakbari is expected to make his promotional debut or whom that bout will come against.
