Finland’s most successful freestyle athlete was in real action last time in June, when the Turkish Attila Korkmaz won by choke.
In addition to the loss, Amikrhani was badly injured. His shoulder was dislocated, the ligament severed and the ring of cartilage detached. The injury took the competitor to the operating table.
Orthopedic surgeon Christer Lybäck, who oversaw Amirkhan’s surgery, estimated in the summer that it would not be worth taking this year. However, the Finn got into the ring and broke his losing streak.
Amirkhani previously fought in the UFC featherweight division, but the road ended in November 2023. Since then, he has been seen, among other things, in matches of the European Octagon promotion.
