Lom-Ali Eskiev record: FNC champion with 16 finishes in 24 wins meets Bojkovic
Lom-Ali Eskiev has finished 16 of his 24 wins, and the most recent came in the first round of a title fight: a KO of Francisco Barrio at FNC 27 on 7 Feb 2026, the card billed as Vitasović vs. Moeil. The German lightweight, 34, defends his FNC belt against Marko Bojkovic on 24 Oct 2026.
Lom-Ali Eskiev record
Eskiev is 24-7-0 with one no contest. He made his professional debut on 17 Dec 2011, so this record has been built over many years. He is known as "Leon", is a German who trains at UFD Gym, and stands 170 cm tall.
His wins break down into 13 by KO or TKO, 3 by submission and 8 by decision. That gives a finish rate of 67 per cent, meaning the share of his wins that came by KO, TKO or submission. Strikes are clearly the main route: 13 knockouts against 3 submissions.
The losses are spread more evenly. Two came by KO or TKO, three by submission and two by decision, with submission the most common of the three.
Recent form
He has won four in a row and is 4-1 in his last five. The only defeat in that stretch is the fifth-round TKO against Robert Ruchala at KSW 80 in March 2023, and he has won every fight since. That defeat also shows he has been taken deep before: it ended in round five.
The four wins since then were all finishes, and his most recent win by decision was against Stasiak in December 2021.
| Date | Opponent | Result | Method | Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 Feb 2026 | Francisco Barrio | Win | KO (punches) | 1 |
| 1 Feb 2025 | Wanderley Junior | Win | TKO (punches) | 2 |
| 7 Sep 2024 | Ivan Buchinger | Win | TKO (punches) | 1 |
| 16 Sep 2023 | Dawid Smielowski | Win | TKO (elbows and punches) | 1 |
| 17 Mar 2023 | Robert Ruchala | Loss | TKO (punches and elbows) | 5 |
From KSW to OKTAGON to FNC
His recent run has crossed several promotions. Two of the wins came on OKTAGON cards: Wanderley Junior at OKTAGON 66 in round two, and Ivan Buchinger at OKTAGON 60, where the event carried both their names in its title. Before that, at KSW 86, he stopped Dawid Smielowski with elbows and punches in round one.
The setbacks sit in 2022 and 2023. Before them he had beaten Damian Stasiak by unanimous decision at KSW 65 on 18 Dec 2021 and Welisson Paiva by TKO with elbows in round one at EMC 10 on 24 Sep 2022. Then came a split-decision loss to Daniel Rutkowski at KSW 77 on 17 Dec 2022 and the fifth-round stoppage by Ruchala at KSW 80.
Every win in the current streak ended early. Three of the four came in round one, and the other in round two. That is the profile of a fighter who looks for the finish from the opening bell.
Next fight: Eskiev vs Bojkovic at FNC 34
The booking is a lightweight title fight and the main event of FNC 34 in Skopje, North Macedonia, on 24 Oct 2026. Eskiev goes in as champion at 24-7-0, 1 NC. Bojkovic arrives at 11-2-0.
The gap in experience is plain from the records alone. Eskiev has been a professional since 2011 and has already fought a title fight under the FNC banner in 2026. Bojkovic's task is to take the champion beyond round two, which is as far as any win in his current streak went.
