The Turan Warrior
Bekzat Almakhan
Career overview
Bekzat Almakhan is a 26-year-old bantamweight from Kazakhstan with a 12-3-0 professional record, fighting out of an orthodox stance. The Turan Warrior operates as a volume striker who lands 1.61 strikes per minute with 34% accuracy while absorbing 3.73 strikes per minute and defending at just 36%, indicating he absorbs significant damage in exchanges.
Almakhan does not rely on takedowns—he averages zero per 15 minutes with 0% accuracy—and poses no submission threat, instead relying on his 13.2 knockout score to finish opponents. Recent results have been mixed: he secured a decisive first-round TKO over Brad Katona in May 2025 but suffered back-to-back unanimous decision losses to Umar Nurmagomedov in March 2024 and Aleksandre Topuria in November 2025.
His cardio score of 49.7 suggests stamina concerns over extended rounds, which aligns with his recent decision losses to higher-level competition. Almakhan's limited striking accuracy and defensive deficiencies against elite opponents indicate he needs significant technical refinement to compete consistently at the top of the bantamweight division.
