Reigning Shooto light-heavyweight champion and current 170-pounder Siyar Bahadurzada (20-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) says he's been offered a UFC contract.

The fighter, who recently accepted a Strikeforce deal but never debuted with the organization, today announced the deal.

"Nothing is signed yet," he tweeted. "My team and I will discuss it and let you know when it's signed."

The Team Golden Glory fighter and Afghanistan native can be seen as one of Jason "Mayhem" Miller's assistant coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter 14," which debuts tonight on Spike TV. The confident fighter recently joined MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) and made a bold prediction.

"I don't promise a lot of things to people or whoever, but the one thing I promise the fight fans here in the U.S. is that I will knock so many people out that you will never forget my name," the 27-year-old Bahadurzada recently said.

Bahadurzada's current six-fight win streak includes knockouts of notables John Alessio and Derrick Noble, among others. Most recently, he won Ultimate Glory's multi-event welterweight grand prix.

In his past 16 fights, his only losses have come to notables Kazuo Misaki and Jorge Santiago under the World Victory Road/Sengoku banner.

Bahadurzada agreed to a deal with Strikeforce in early 2010, though a fight and finalized contract never materialized. He fell out of favor with the promotion when he took his complaints public.

After Zuffa LLC, the UFC's parent company, acquired Strikeforce, Bahadurzada saw it as a ray of hope.

"I'm glad that the new company took them over and are going to send them home with their office stools in a box in short time," Bahadurzada told MMAjunkie.com.
