Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Touahri amassed a professional mixed martial arts record of 10-1 by fighting mainly within the Polish regional MMA circuit as well as once within Russia before signing for the UFC in October 2017.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Touahri made his UFC debut as a short-notice opponent against Warlley Alves on October 21, 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Till. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Touahri was expected to face Brad Scott on 27 May 2018 at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Till. However, Touahri pulled out of the fight citing a knee injury.

Touahri then faced Keita Nakamura on December 1, 2018 at UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Tuivasa. He lost the fight via split decision.

Touahri was expected to face Zelim Imadaev on August 3, 2019 at UFC on ESPN: Covington vs. Lawler. However, on June 9 it was announced that Touahri would face Mickey Gall instead whilst no reason for the change was provided. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Touahri was released by the UFC in February 2020.

Personal life

Touahri was arrested in February 2020 on charges alleging his involvement in the trade of illegal substances. He was released without bail in 2021 after the court decided that prosecution's case is based solely on testimonies of a criminal convicted earlier for lying under oath
