Sayat Abduali (9-0)
Coming from Kazakhstan, Sayat Abduali might be the most polarizing fighter on this list. While his highlights show a tone of promise, he tends to hit lows that make him look as an unfinished product. Abduali has great distance control showing his Muay Thai background. Despite that, many of his finishes are via submission having a really slick grappling game.
Abduali will likely stay in the regional scene, but at 22-years-old the flashes are great and has room to become the best lightweight prospect in 2026.
