Murtazali Magomedov

Overview

Twelve fights, twelve wins, and the only UFC opponent to see the third round did it on the scorecards. "The Highlight" is a Kyrgyzstan-born featherweight who trains out of Goret's Gym and sits at 2-0 in the UFC. His professional record across all promotions is 12-0-0.

One finish, one decision, no losses. It's a small sample, but it's clean.

UFC Career

Magomedov's path to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where he beat Brahyam Zurcher by KO/TKO in round 1 at 1:37. That fight isn't part of his UFC record.

His UFC debut came at UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Horiguchi, where he submitted Melsik Baghdasaryan in round 1 at 1:17. At UFC Fight Night: Cortes Acosta vs Walker, he went the distance with Jose Delano and took a unanimous decision.

He carries a two-fight win streak into his next fight.

Fighting Style

Magomedov is a busy striker who is hard to hit. He lands plenty and gives up very little in return, and his defense keeps opponents from connecting cleanly.

He is also an active grappler who shoots for takedowns often and hunts for submissions more than most. His one finish in the UFC came by submission in the first round.

The weak spot is takedown defense. He gets taken down more than most, which is a surprising gap given how well the rest of his game holds up.
