Nasrat Haqparast
Hard-hitting German-born Afghani lightweight [autotag]Nasrat Haqparast[/autotag] is a force to be reckoned with.
His UFC debut came on short notice against Marcin Held in October 2017, and although he didn’t prevail, he impressed with his heavy hands and toughness.
Following his loss to Held, Haqparast (11-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) went on to win his next three in a row, picking up performance bonuses in two of them. His first UFC finish came in his last outing, when he blasted Joaquim Silva with a massive left in August to earn an extra $50,000 for his efforts.
On Jan. 18, Haqparast takes on fellow finisher Drew Dober, who is the far more experienced fighter, which should provide Haqaparast a solid step up in the stacked 155-pound division.
