reportedly declines to renew contract
Basharat completed his contract with a victory over John Garza
in July and wasn’t offered a new deal. The Afghan-born British
fighter also defeated Da’Mon Blackshear, Jean
Matsumoto and Chris
Gutierrez. Six of his seven UFC victories came by decision.
Basharat joins Muhammad
Mokaev and Michael
Page among fighters whose UFC contracts were not renewed
despite winning streaks.
His brother, Javid
Basharat, also left the UFC in February and has since joined
the
Professional Fighters League. Javid won his final UFC
appearance, though he went 1-2 with one no contest in his last four
bouts with the promotion.
