At UFC Fight Night 257, Uran Satybaldiev from Kyrgyzstan faces Kazakhstan's Diyar Nurgozhay in Shanghai, China. Both fighters look to bounce back from recent losses as part of the undercard leading to the main event showdown between Johnny Walker and Mingyang Zhang.
Uran Satybaldiev began his professional MMA career strong with eight wins, including five knockouts. Unfortunately, he recently dropped a unanimous decision against Martin Buday in April 2025. Despite this setback, he's known for his knockout power and will bring it when facing Diyar Nurgozhay—a fellow heavy hitter who has claimed six of his victories by knockout as well. Diyar most recently lost via submission to Brendson Ribeiro back in March 2025.
