• Weight class: Flyweight
• Pro record: 1-0
• Age: 20

The first, youngest and least experienced fighter on this list is “The Wolf Pack” prospect Abdurakhman Nasrutdinov of Allstars Training Center in Stockholm.

Originally from Dagestan, Nasrutdinov is basically a real-life ninja and one of the most exciting fighters in Sweden. He’ll mix spinning kicks and flying knees with quick hands and solid wrestling to score highlight-reel finishes and was an early standout on the amateur scene.

Last time around, Nasrutdinov turned pro and looked better than ever as he scored a TKO victory in the co-main event of Fight Club Rush 8 last year.
