Yousri Belgaroui, a seasoned fighter who faced both Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya in kickboxing matches, is set to have another shot at the UFC.

Belgaroui, with a record of 7-3, will face Anvarbek Daniyalbekov (8-0) in a middleweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Sept. 10. Although he previously lost in his DWCS debut in 2023, Belgaroui is determined to make his mark in MMA after transitioning from kickboxing.

Since then, he has secured two wins in the Netherlands, showcasing his prowess with a knockout in his last fight. Meanwhile, Daniyalbekov, with all eight of his pro wins by knockout, poses a formidable challenge with his impressive record. This matchup promises an exciting showdown between two skilled fighters aiming to make their mark in the UFC.
