}}Makwan Amirkhani (born November 8, 1988) is a Finnish mixed martial artist [3][5] competing in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Amirkhani is perhaps best known for his first-round eight-second knockout of Andy Ogle, which is one of the fastest knockouts in UFC history.[4]

Background

A Kurd born in the Kurdish region of Iran,[3][5] Amirkhani moved with his family to Finland as a small child in the aftermath of the Iran–Iraq War. Like many other young kids in Iran, he hails from an amateur wrestling background, having trained since the age of four, and won numerous titles in both the styles of Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling.[6]

Makwan has worked as a model and was the 1st runner-up in 2012 Mr. Finland pageant, which his nickname refers to.

After finding success in MMA career, he has also been seen in several reality tv shows in his native Finland and has released an autobiography in 2017.

Kurdish heritage

Despite growing up in Finland, Amirkhani remains proud of his Kurdish heritage.[3] At a June 2015 weigh-in to his fight, he held a Kurdistan flag aloft as he stood on the scales.[3][7] He also frequently posts in support for the Peshmerga on his social media accounts.[3] He also holds the Kurdish flag during weigh ins in the UFC. Makwan is proud of where he is from and large part of his fan base are Kurds.

Mixed martial arts career

Amirkhani began training in mixed martial arts at the age of 16 and had his first professional fight in 2010. Competing on the regional circuit solely in Finland, he compiled a record of 10–2, with eight finishes, all by submission and all in the first round, before signing with the UFC in December 2014.[8]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Amirkhani made his promotional debut against Andy Ogle on January 24, 2015 at UFC on Fox 14.[9] He won the fight via TKO only 8 seconds into the first round.[10] He also earned a Performance of the Night bonus.[11]

Amirkhani was briefly linked to a bout with Diego Rivas on June 20, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 69.[12] However, shortly after the bout was announced, Rivas was pulled from the fight due to undisclosed reasons and replaced by Masio Fullen.[13] Amirkhani won the fight by submission due to a rear naked choke in the first round.[14][15]

Amirkhani faced Mike Wilkinson on February 27, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 84.[16] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[17]

Amirkhani faced Arnold Allen on 18 March 2017 at UFC Fight Night 107.[18] He lost the fight by split decision.[19]

Amirkhani faced Jason Knight on 27 May 2018 at UFC Fight Night 130[20] Amirkhani won the back-and-forth fight via a controversial split decision, after being knocked down twice with uppercuts.[21]

Amirkhani is expected to face Chris Fishgold at Gustafsson vs. Smith on June 1, 2019.[22]

Personal life

Amirkhani is one of seven children; his brother and father both died in car accidents after the family moved to Finland.[23]

Amateur boxing

Makwan Amirkhani has fought five times in amateur boxing. He would have had his fifth fight in December 2018 in Somero instead of January 2019, if he would not have refused to a new replacement opponent who was an experienced and more heavier boxer.[24]
