Ahmad Hassanzada

Ahmad Hassanzada is an Afghan-born mixed martial artist based in Sacramento, California. He gained prominence in the sport after winning a contract with the UFC following a victory on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2024. However, his rising career took a drastic turn when he was arrested on April 18, 2025, on suspicion of sexual offenses against minors, which led to his exclusion from an upcoming UFC event and the termination of his contract.
