Zhalgas Zhumagulov hints at possible UFC return

Zhumagulov commented on one of the league’s statistical records, where he ranks third for significant strikes per minute in the history of the flyweight division, following American fighter Joshua Van and Brazilian fighter John Lineker.

“I am needed in this division more than ever,” Zhumagulov wrote on X.

It’s worth noting that Zhumagulov competed in the UFC from 2020 to 2023, participating in seven bouts. He secured one win and suffered six losses. However, many experts and fans believe that some of his fights were unfairly scored in favor of his opponents.

As reported earlier, Kazakh middleweight WBO and IBF champion Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, has expressed his desire to step into the ring against unified super middleweight champion, Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
