Ramiz Brahimaj

Ramiz Brahimaj, a 31-year-old American Orthodox fighter holding a 13-6 record, operates as a well-rounded mixed martial artist with considerable submission prowess and knockout power. Over his career, Brahimaj has landed 2.29 strikes per minute at 48% accuracy while absorbing 3.27 per minute, reflecting his willingness to engage in exchanges despite a 47% striking defense rate.

His grappling approach is notable, averaging 1.99 takedowns per 15 minutes at 34% accuracy and 1.6 submission attempts per 15 minutes—a threat level that has produced several finish victories. Recent performances show mixed results: he submitted Austin Vanderford in October 2025 and knocked out Mickey Gall in the first round in November 2024, but suffered a unanimous decision loss to Punahele Soriano in February 2026 and a prior decision defeat to Themba Gorimbo in May 2025.

With a 44% takedown defense and a cardio score of 53.2, Brahimaj remains competitive in the welterweight division, though consistency has eluded him across his recent eight-fight stretch (4-4 record). His submission-heavy approach and finishing ability keep him dangerous, but he needs to tighten his striking defense and takedown accuracy to climb the ranking.
