Looks to bounce back against Simon
Basharat will take on Ricky Simon in a bantamweight matchup at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, Alex Behunin of MMA Mania reports.
ANALYSIS
Basharat is without a UFC victory since January of 2023, as he had a tough break in a no-contest against Victory Henry two Octobers ago before losing to Aiemann Zahabi last March and getting his next 2024 fight cancelled. He now looks to get back on the winning path against Simon, a tough fighter with a respectable resume, but also one who happens to have lost three in a row under the UFC banner.

Falls as monumental favorite
Basharat lost to Aiemann Zahabi via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
What a disaster. Suffering your first professional loss as a -1000 favorite is, quite honestly, impressive. Basharat was the better man for exactly one round. After that, he allowed Zahabi to land with more frequency and more authority. The fact Javid failed on all four of his takedown attempts didn't help, either. Plenty of knowledgable people felt Basharat was a real up-and-comer at bantamweight, but this result, with no disrespect to Zahabi, says otherwise. Javid had been undefeated in his first four UFC bouts (3-0, 1NC), but those wins came over Trevin Jones, Tony Gravely and Mateus Mendonca. That's not exactly the top of the food chain at 135 pounds.
