In 2021 , ESPN ranked him #15 among bantamweights worldwide while FOX Sports placed him #7 on their list of best emerging athletes from all weight classes within UFC .

At 28 years old , Adashev already holds an impressive record of 11 wins out 13 fights – three by knockout and four by submission ..
