Göteborg’s own Elias Ksia, one of Sweden’s most accomplished amateur featherweights, will return to the Allstars Fight Night cage on September 27, 2025 to take on Ali Albazi, younger brother of UFC title contender Amir Albazi. The bout is set for AFN 11 at Stockholm’s Quality Hotel, Strawberry Arena.

Ksia remains a fixture among Sweden’s top amateurs thanks to his recent outing at AFN 7 on June 29, 2025, where he earned a unanimous decision victory over George Youssef. Across three rounds, he controlled the pace with a composed approach, mixing sharp striking with well-timed takedowns, and showing the endurance to stay dominant from start to finish. That performance only reinforced his reputation as a composed and adaptable fighter capable of winning in any range.

Albazi arrives at AFN with pedigree and momentum. Born in Sweden and representing Iraq internationally, he is an accomplished grappler who captured the AWFS Featherweight title earlier this year. A member of the Iraqi national team in jiu-jitsu, Albazi’s technical skill on the mat is matched by a growing all-around MMA arsenal. While his family name connects him to one of the UFC’s elite flyweights, Albazi is determined to forge his own path in the sport.

The matchup presents a compelling clash of experience and ambition. Ksia brings years of tested competition and home-crowd support. Albazi carries championship credentials and the drive to make an immediate impact in AFN. When the cage door closes at AFN 11, both will be looking for a win that could define the next stage of their careers.
