Tofiq Musayev is 1-1 in the UFC. He debuted on June 21, 2025, against Myktybek Orolbai in a catchweight bout and lost by submission in the first round.

More than nine months passed before his next fight. On March 28, 2026, Musayev met Ignacio Bahamondes at lightweight and won a unanimous decision over three rounds.

That is his only UFC win on record and his only UFC fight to reach the scorecards. His debut is the only time he has been finished in the promotion.

Belgrade is his third UFC appearance and his second at lightweight.

Significant strikes only, as recorded by UFCStats, across the fighter's whole UFC career. Shares are raw counts — nothing here is modelled or smoothed. Accuracy is landed ÷ attempted and comes from the per-round tape, which covers slightly fewer fights than the totals do. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.

Rate bars run to the population’s 95th percentile (5.22 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.

Career UFC takedown rates exactly as UFCStats publishes them: takedowns landed per 15 minutes, completion rate, submission attempts per 15 minutes, and the share of takedowns tried on them that they stuffed. Attempts per 15 is the one derived figure — landed ÷ completion rate — and it is omitted wherever either input is missing. UFCStats writes 0% where no attempt was recorded at all, so a percentage of exactly zero reads “n/a” here rather than as a measured rate. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.

Straight off the official UFC fight record. Card names are left off on purpose: the only event labels in our data are derived, and we’d rather print nothing than print one that’s wrong.
