Aliskerov vs Ferreira Prediction 27 June 2026

33-year-old Ikram Aliskerov hails from the renowned Dagestani school of combat sambo and has built a reputation for his versatility inside the cage. Before joining the UFC, his only career defeat came at the hands of Khamzat Chimaev, who stopped Ikram in the first round under the Brave CF banner. After earning his UFC contract via the Contender Series, Aliskerov made an immediate impact with two emphatic stoppage victories. He later accepted a short-notice bout against Robert Whittaker, but fell to the former champion via knockout in the opening round. The Russian quickly bounced back from that setback, submitting Andre Muniz and earning a decision win over Jun Yong Park. Aliskerov last fought in October 2025 and now returns to the Octagon, hungry for more success.

33-year-old Bruno Ferreira has earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous and relentless finishers in the middleweight division. His impressive 93 percent finishing rate speaks volumes, forcing opponents to approach him with extreme caution. Ferreira made a statement at the start of his UFC career, pulling off a stunning knockout of Gregory Rodrigues in a wild firefight. However, he struggled to build on that momentum, suffering defeats to Nursulton Ruziboev and Abusupiyan Magomedov. Overall, Ferreira has stepped into the Octagon nine times, recording six wins and three losses. In March 2026, he was knocked out by Rodrigues in their rematch and now returns to action just three and a half months after that punishing finish.
