Unbeaten Emil Kuzmich Could Earn UFC Deal in 2027

Unbeaten Cameroonian prospect Emil Kuzmich could be on his way to the UFC in 2027, according to Gor MMA head coach Gor Azizyan, who says the team plans to push the fighter toward a deal with the world’s leading MMA promotion.

Azizyan said Kuzmich has already attracted attention within the MMA management community. Among those impressed by the Cameroonian is prominent manager Ali Abdelaziz, who reportedly described Kuzmich as a strong candidate for a UFC contract.

“Emil is generating interest and the managers like what they see. Ali Abdelaziz called him a good candidate to be signed by the UFC,” Azizyan told MMA.Metaratings.ru. “Kuzmich is an interesting guy. He works hard and trains hard. Next year, we’ll try to get him signed by the UFC.”

Kuzmich remains unbeaten in his professional MMA career. On Aug. 29 at a Ural FC event in Perm, he knocked out Maxim Fedorov in the second round to improve his record to 4-0.

The Cameroonian began his professional career with two appearances in MMA Series, finishing both fights inside the distance.

At MMA Series-92, Kuzmich stopped Shamil Bagavdinov by TKO just 27 seconds into the opening round. He followed that performance with another quick finish at MMA Series-93, stopping Tulpar Dakaev by TKO at 0:36 of Round 1.

Kuzmich currently holds a perfect professional record of four wins and no losses.
