Hailing from Kazakhstan, Shavkat made his UFC debut back in October 2020 at UFC 254 and had picked up a submission win in the first round. He then followed this up with a second-round submission win at UFC Fight Night: Gane vs. Volkov before producing a first-round KO victory at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Strickland.
