Nasrat Haqparast looks like a man who has begun to reach his potential in the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight division.
The German-born Moroccan will attempt to break into the Top 10 rankings at 155 pounds when he takes on the once-beaten Esteban Ribovics in a UFC Fight Night 253 showcase this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Haqparast, 29, steps back into the spotlight with the wind of a four-fight winning streak in his sails. The Kelvin Gastelum doppelganger has secured more than half (10) of his 17 career victories by knockout or technical knockout, seven of them inside one round.
