Omari Akhmedov is no longer on the UFC roster, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Fighting.
The American Top Team fighter has parted ways with the company after a split decision loss to Brad Tavares this past Saturday at UFC 264 in Las Vegas, which dropped his overall UFC record to 9-5-1 with two “Fight of the Night” bonuses to his credit.
Akhmedov (21-6-1) competed under the UFC banner since 2013 and scored key wins over Tom Breese, Ian Heinisch, Zak Cummings and Tim Boetsch in the past eight years. “Wolverine” joined the UFC as a 12-1 prospect.

After almost eight years with the UFC, it looks as if middleweight Omari Akhmedov’s future will be outside the promotion.
MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz reported that Akhmedov is no longer under UFC contract after his split decision defeat to Brad Tavares on last weekend’s UFC 264 preliminary card. Prior to the report his name was removed from the official UFC rankings voting selection.
Akhmedov (21-6-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) debuted as a middleweight way back in 2013, knocking out Thiago Perpetuo in a Fight of the Night performance. He dropped to welterweight for his next fight and was choked out by Gunnar Nelson. While he did win four of his ensuing six bouts (and without missing weight), Akhmedov went back to 185 lbs in 2017 and went to a draw with eventual title challenger Marvin Vettori.
