Makwan Amirkhani, a seasoned mixed martial artist, has compiled an impressive record of 17 wins, 9 losses, and 0 draws throughout his career. Competing primarily in the UFC's featherweight division (145 lbs.), he stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall with a reach of 72 inches, adopting a southpaw stance. Amirkhani has demonstrated a unique fighting style that showcases his significant striking accuracy of 44%, averaging 1.33 strikes per minute in the UFC. His defensive skills are also noteworthy, with a strike defense rate of 46%. In addition to his striking abilities, Amirkhani is proficient in grappling, boasting an average of 3.96 takedowns per 15 minutes and a takedown accuracy of 43%. Throughout his career, Amirkhani has achieved notable victories, including a significant triumph over Mike Wilkinson, who held an ELO rating of 1023 at the time. However, his recent fight history reveals a series of mixed results. In June 2021, he faced Kamuela Kirk and ended up with an unanimous decision loss (U-DEC). This was followed by another defeat against Lerone Murphy in October 2021 via KO/TKO knee strike. However, Amirkhani managed to secure a win in March 2022 against Mike Grundy through a submission using an Anaconda Choke. Unfortunately, his winning streak was short-lived as he suffered another loss in July 2022 against Jonathan Pearce via KO/TKO punches. Most recently, on March 18, 2023, Amirkhani faced Jack Shore and lost the fight via submission using a rear naked choke.
