Bilal Hasan
8-0 | 24 | Indonesia/US
The no-brainer at the very top of the list is the reigning CFFC flyweight champ, Bilal Hasan. Unbeaten as a pro and amateur, with seven pro finishes and three title defenses, Hasan has become undeniable. You could’ve argued he should’ve been signed a while back. I believe more experience at his age is never a problem before getting thrown in the UFC. Plus, the biggest knack of his career has been the lack of competition he’s beaten. Personally, I only rate the wins over Xhelal Lleshi and Shamel Findley. Still, he’s put on spectacular performances, highlight-reel finishes, and vast improvements.
Hasan is often met with his takedown defense being tested due to his dangerous striking ability. Having been taken down in the past, Hasan has done a great job of staying upright. Hasan is what you expect from a flyweight fighter; Super fast, athletic, and dynamic. Hasan is very ninja-like in the cage, priding himself on timing, movement, and mixing up his shot selection.
I expect to see Hasan in the UFC by March, and it shouldn’t be through the Contender Series because there’s no need to waste time.
Muhidin Abubakr is definitely a future UFC Champ
