Maintains undefeated pro record
Basharat defeated Kleydson Rodrigues via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Basharat looked pretty good in taking a unanimous decision from Da'Mon Blackshear -- who has looked great in his past two fights -- this past March and put forth an even better performance against Rodrigues. He connected on 2-of-5 takedowns attempts and racked up 3:15 worth of control time in a bout which lasted barely four minutes. He looked exceedingly comfortably on the mat in searching for the arm-triangle choke which closed the show. The 26-year-old is absolutely a fighter to keep an eye on at 135 pounds moving forward.

Takes decision in UFC debut
Basharat defeated Da'Mon Blackshear via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 285 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This wasn't the rout many expected given the fact Basharat entered as upwards of a -450 favorite, but it was still a pretty strong showing from the 25-year-old newcomer. Every single time Blackshear appeared to be gaining some momentum, Farid got back on track. He landed three takedowns in all, one in each round. Basharat didn't accomplish a ton of the feet, landing just 76 total strikes, but his 5:28 worth of control time was enough to earn him the decision. Bantamweight is arguably the most loaded division in all the UFC, but Basharat is certainly a fighter worth keeping an eye on as 2023 progresses.
