Farid Basharat probably wonders what more he needs to do to get some genuine attention in the bantamweight division.
One of 30 undefeated competitors on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster with at least one victory inside the organization, the burgeoning American Top Team star will put his perfect 14-0 record on the line when he meets Jean Matsumoto in a UFC Fight Night 266 showcase on Feb. 7 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Basharat arrived in the UFC via Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023 and proceeded to rattle off victories against Da’Mon Blackshear, Kleydson Rodrigues, Taylor Lapilus and Victor Hugo.
