Bilal Tipsaev is a Scandinavian fighter to keep a close eye on.
Hailing from the top gym Allstars Training Center, he’s one of their fighters that we may very well see in the UFC in the near future.
The gym has lately produced a bunch of up-and-coming UFC fighters. Felipe Lima, Josefine ”Thunder” Knutsson and Bernardo Sopai all made their debuts in 2023 and 2024.
The 25-year-old prospect has his mind set on competing in the UFC next year.
”I hope for one more fight before the end of the year,” Tipsaev recently told Maximum Sports. ”It doesn’t matter where. I need one to two more fights to get the chance to compete in the UFC. It is very possible that you will see me there in 2025.”
The 25-year-old talent has won five of his last six fights, most recently he delivered an impressive performance as he defeated Mohammed Walid at FCR 21.
Bilal Tipsaev: ”Anything is possible if you want it”
The surging pro fighter has trained closely together with his good friend Khamzat Chimaev. Chimaev’s journey from an unknown prospect to a massive UFC star is a big source of inspiration for Tipsaev.
”If I have to pick one I think it’s Khamzat, because we started training MMA together and lived in the gym together and he’s an example that anything is possible if you want it.”
