Nawras Abzakh’s record, in numbers

Nawras Abzakh’s official record is 15-6 (1 NC). Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 18 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for — 12 wins, 5 losses and 1 no contest — because 4 bouts from the official record are not in the history we hold.

The 12 wins break down as 2 by knockout and 7 by submission — 9 of 12 inside the distance, a finish rate of 75%. Across the 17 of 18 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 7 minutes 7 seconds.

Nawras Abzakh has been stopped 3 times in the 18 bouts on file — 3 by knockout — which is 17% of them. The last 2 bouts on file are both wins.

Of the 18 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for, 2 were for a title and 1 was the main event of the card. One of them has come since October 2024.

Set against the 252 Flyweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Nawras Abzakh has a finish rate above 70% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 33% of them and a two-year bout count above 58% of them. The comparison is made inside the division rather than across the whole roster, because how often a division finishes depends heavily on what it weighs.

Nawras Abzakh is listed at 5ft 7in and is 33, born 29 December 1992.

These figures are recomputed from Nawras Abzakh’s bout history each time results are synced, so they follow the record rather than a fixed snapshot.
