JAVID BASHARAT fully expected to be a ranked bantamweight when he made his second octagon outing of the year.<\/p>\n

The Afghan-born Brit has been nothing short of dominant in his first two years in MMA's premier promotion.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has gone a perfect 3-0 inside the octagon, racking up wins over dangerous duo Trevin Jones and Tony Gravely in his first two outings.<\/p>\n

Many expected a ranked opponent or a spot in the top 15 to be Basharat's future<\/span> following his January shut-out of the then-undefeated Mateus Mendonca.<\/p>\n

But he's had to make do with a clash against fellow outsider Victor Henry at UFC 294 on Saturday night, which, apart from the stylistic match-up, he's somewhat frustrated about.<\/p>\n

The Snow<\/span> Leopard told SunSport: "Everything has gone very well [so far]. But the only thing is I feel like I should be ranked [already].<\/p>\n

"Trevin Jones, had a positive record in the UFC when he beat Timur Valiev who was ranked high at the time and beaten [Raoni] Barcelos everyone was talking crazy about how good Barcelos was.<\/p>\n

"Trevin beat that guy and he beat Mario<\/span> Bautista, who everyone is crazy about right now. He knocked him out, he didn't even just beat him.<\/p>\n

"And Tony Gravely, he was a Division 1 wrestler – so that was a nightmare stylistic match-up for me. <\/p>\n

"Everyone thought that he was going to be a tough fight to see where Javid was at.<\/p>\n

"And I made light work of him. I fought him with one eye the whole fight. I got cut in the first minute of the fight and that was light work.<\/p>\n

"And then I had an undefeated Brazilian from Charles Oliveira's team. So that in itself, whether he was good or not, there was no blueprint to beat him.<\/p>\n

"I had to find out on fight night how to beat him. I hadn't seen him lose a round until I fought him. And he came off a 40-second knockout on the Contenders Series.<\/p>\n

"These are all tough fights, these are all heavy hitters that I've fought. And everybody else is ranked higher than me, which I don't understand."<\/p>\n

Barring a surprise defeat to the recently retired Raphael Assuncao, 36-year-old Henry has impressed during his UFC run with wins over the once-highly-touted Barcelos and Gravely.<\/p>\n

But he built a solid resume outside of the UFC, so much so that Basharat believes he'll be a shoo-in to face a rank opponent should he get past the American.<\/p>\n

Dana White's Contenders Series alum Basharat said: "Me and Victor should both be ranked. <\/p>\n

"I feel like Victor is that calibre. He's got a great resume outside of America in Japan<\/span>. He has wins over Kyler Phillips and Raoni Barcelos.<\/p>\n

"This is a great fight and this is a fight that's going to put me on the map. <\/p>\n

"I'm already on people's maps, but this is the one that is going to change it a little bit."<\/p>\n

He added: "I'm asking for top ten after this. I already think Victor is top 15 as far as I'm concerned."<\/p>\n

I feel like I should be ranked<\/p>\n

Basharat punched his ticket to the UFC two years ago with a brutal beatdown and submission of Oron Khalon, who branded him a "terrorist" in their pre-fight face-off.<\/p>\n

An all-important octagon finish has eluded him so far, but he won't go out of his way to get one against Henry.<\/p>\n

"Since the beginning of my career, I've never ever looked for the finish", the Xtreme Couture standout said. He added: "It just happens.<\/p>\n

"I'm always looking to finish the fight, that's the objective of the fight is to win and beat the guy before the time is done.<\/p>\n

"The main objective is to win. The finishes, whether they come or not, a big part of that is up to the other guy too.<\/p>\n

"Trevin had never been finished, so they gave me somebody that had never been finished in my debut.<\/p>\n

"Tony Gravely, I front-kicked that guy so hard to the face. I don't know what made that guy stay up. So Tony did his thing.<\/p>\n

"And then the other guy [Mendonca] had never been finished either. <\/p>\n

"It's not like these are guys that are finishable guys that I'm fighting, unlike some of these other guys."<\/p>\n

Going 4-0 in the UFC with a victory over Henry would be the perfect way for Basharat to end the year, which he hopes to see out in style.<\/p>\n

He said: "This is going to be a great fight. Victor does a lot of things similar to me. But I just feel I'm younger, tougher, more skilled.<\/p>\n
