Aleksandre Topuria, Brother to UFC Champion Ilia Topuria, Set for Bantamweight Debut Against Cody Haddon at UFC 312

Aleksandre Topuria, the elder brother of UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, is set to make his UFC debut at UFC 312 on February 9th, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Competing in the bantamweight division, he will face Australian prospect Cody Haddon in what promises to be an exciting matchup.

Aleksandre enters the UFC with a professional record of 5-1-0, having built his reputation as a versatile fighter with a knack for finishes in regional promotions.

While comparisons to his younger brother are inevitable, he is focused on making his mark in the sports. Training alongside his brother, Aleksandre has developed a balanced style, blending technical striking with strong grappling skills.

Cody Haddon, with a record of 8-1-0, will serve as a formidable first test. The 24-year-old Australian fighter is known for his relentless pace and dynamic skill set, which have earned him a growing reputation in MMA. Haddon views this fight as a chance to solidify his place in the UFC.

This bout carries significant implications for both fighters. A win for Aleksandre could mark the beginning of a promising UFC career and further solidify the Topuria family legacy. For Haddon, it represents an opportunity to derail a highly anticipated debut and elevate his profile in the bantamweight division.

Fans can expect a high-energy fight as Aleksandre’s technical approach meets Haddon’s aggressive style.

With UFC 312 shaping up to be a stacked card, this matchup is likely to stand out as one of the event’s highlights. Both fighters are eager to prove themselves, making this a clash not to be missed.
