Mohammad Nasrat Haqparast[1] (born August 22, 1995) is a German[4] mixed martial artist (MMA) who currently competes in the Lightweight division in the UFC.

Background[]

Haqparast was born in Germany to Afghan parents from Kandahar who came as refugees from Afghanistan. He attended kickboxing classes as his parents believed he was overweight at fourteen years old. Instead, Haqparast joined an MMA class and decided to be an MMA fighter after witnessing a sparring session in the room next to the kickboxing class.[3][5]
