Will fight Basharat
Zahabi is scheduled to face Javid Basharat in a bantamweight bout at the UFC's March 2 event in Saudi Arabia, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Zahabi defeated Aori Qileng in June to pick up his third consecutive UFC victory, though the streak began way back in February 2021. Nonetheless, Zahabi's hot stretch will get him a shot at Basharat, who is a perfect 14-0 in his professional career.

Picks up third straight win
Zahabi defeated Aori Qileng via KO (punches) at 1:04 of Round 1 at UFC 289 on Saturday in Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
It's a third straight win for Zahabi after dropping two of his first three with the UFC, and this was arguably his best effort to date. Not a fighter typically known for his power, Aiemann sat down on a right hand about a minute into the bout which cracked Qileng on the chin and closed the show. Zahabi might have an issue continuing this string of success moving forward considering he will be 36 years of age this coming November, but he's certainly on a great run at the moment.
