Bilal Hasan Wins by KO in His UFC Debut, Who Will Be the Next Opponent for 'The Indo Ninja'?

Bilal Hasan has continued to draw major public attention following an impressive victory in his UFC debut. The fighter, nicknamed The Indo Ninja, defeated Peru's Nilson Rojas via knockout in the second round. Who will Bilal face next?

The bout took place on Saturday, 29 August 2026. Despite this being his first ever appearance on the UFC stage, Bilal Hasan fought with calm composure and ended the contest with a decisive striking combination.

This win moves the 25-year-old fighter to a perfect professional record of 10-0-0. Out of these ten victories, eight have come by way of knockout.

Notably, this fight against Rojas was Bilal's second professional bout in the space of just 18 days.

Prior to his UFC debut, The Indo Ninja competed on the first week of Dana White's Contender Series Season 10 on 11 August 2026. On that occasion, Bilal stopped Indian fighter Mridul Saikia in just 45 seconds.

That performance earned Bilal a UFC contract from Dana White. Just 18 days later, he stepped back into the octagon to secure his second consecutive win.

Bilal Hasan Yet To Enter UFC Rankings

Despite holding an unblemished record and opening his UFC career with a knockout victory, Bilal Hasan has not yet been placed in the top 15 flyweight rankings.

The UFC ranking system only lists the top 15 athletes in each weight division. As he has only competed once under the UFC banner, Bilal is currently not featured on the official rankings list.

To put it simply: Bilal does not yet hold an official UFC ranking in the flyweight division.

That said, his victory over Rojas has given The Indo Ninja huge momentum, as well as massive attention from MMA fans particularly across Indonesia and the United States.

Immediately following this win, Bilal publicly challenged one of the established UFC flyweight fighters.

Bilal Hasan Calls Out Andre Lima

Still inside the octagon after beating Rojas, Bilal Hasan directly called out Andre Lima.

Andre Lima is a Brazilian fighter born 4 February 1999, holding a 12-1 professional MMA record. Of his 12 victories, 5 came by knockout, 2 by submission, and 4 via judge's decision.

Coincidentally, Andre Lima also recently competed at UFC Fight Night 286, where he secured a third round submission victory over Namsrai Batbayar with a guillotine choke.

At this time there has been no official confirmation from the UFC that Bilal Hasan will be matched with Andre Lima for his next bout.

However, given the momentum Bilal currently carries, it is unlikely The Indo Ninja will have to wait long before he returns to competition.

His back-to-back wins on Dana White's Contender Series and his UFC debut have already established him as one of the most talked about emerging prospects in the flyweight division.
