Siyar Bahadurzada, Afghani native, resident of in the Netherlands, and assistant coach to Mayhem Miller on TUF 14, has announced via twitter that he has signed with the UFC.
I signed with the @UFC!!!! I’m very excited to be a part of the UFC and test my skills with the crème de la crème of MMA.
I wanna thank the @UFC and @danawhite for this opportunity. I will shake up the ww division!!! Also special thanks to my team Golden Glory!
The UFC has not confimed the signing thus far.
Bahadurzada was signed to Strikeforce, but previous to thje Zuffa buyout was bitter over not being used. While Bahadurzada is the current Shooto light heavyweight (83kg./183 lb.) champion, he has competed mostly at welterweight lately, and would be a 170 pounder in the UFC.
