Scheduled for February fight
Ofli is scheduled to compete against Muhammadjon Naimov in a featherweight fight at UFC Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ofli spent most of 2024 competing on The Ultimate Fighter 32, which he did well in until the final hurdle, which was a knockout loss to Mairon Santos. Still, Ofli earned himself a UFC contract and will mark his first post-signing appearance by being part of the promotion's expanded Middle East venture.

Drops TUF 32 featherweight final
Ofli dropped The Ultimate Fighter 32 featherweight final on Saturday, falling to Mairon Santos via KO (punch) at 1:30 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
In the battle for the crown and a roster spot with the UFC, Ofli wasn't competitive. He was consistently and thoroughly beaten to the punch by Santos throughout Round 1 before being crushed with a left hand that floored and finished him in an instant early in Round 2. While the result is highly disappointing for Ofli, the truth of the matter is most competitors that drop The Ultimate Fighter finale still end up getting a shot with the company. It's not a guarantee, but don't be surprised if Kaan resurfaces in the UFC in the not-too-distant future.
