Adlan Mairbekovich Amagov (Russian: Адлан Майрбекович Амагов; born 30 October 1986) is a Russian former mixed martial artist and kickboxer who most recently competed in the welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor from 2007 to 2014, Amagov also formerly competed for Strikeforce and is the former Unifight World Champion.
Background
[edit]Originally from the small village of Sernovodsk in Chechnya, Amagov was raised in a war-torn country and in 1994 when he was eight years old, Amagov's school was destroyed. Eventually, he relocated to Moscow, where he began training in Combat Sambo with Fedor Emelianenko and Alexander Emelianenko. In June 2007, Amagov made the transition into mixed martial arts.[1]
Mixed martial arts career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Amagov made his professional mixed martial arts debut in November 2007 in Russia. He lost his debut bout via submission, but soon amassed a record of 8–1–1 with most of his fights taking place in the ProFC promotion. His brothers Musa Amagov and Beslan Amagov are also professional MMA fighters.
Amagov drew considerable attention in 2010 when a video of his spinning hook kick knockout of Maskhat Akhmetov became popular on several MMA message boards and news sites.[2][3]
He is managed by Sam Kardan and Mike Constantino of MVC Management.
Strikeforce
[edit]In the summer of 2011, Adlan Amagov signed with Zuffa and made his U.S. debut at Strikeforce Challengers: Bowling vs. Voelker III against Ron Stallings.[4] Amagov won the fight via split decision.[5]
Amagov was successful in his second bout for Strikeforce as he defeated veteran Anthony Smith via KO in the first round at Strikeforce Challengers: Britt vs. Sayers.
Following his two wins, Amagov made his debut on a main card at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine on 7 January 2012. He faced former EliteXC Middleweight Champion Robbie Lawler in the co-main event[6] and lost the fight via TKO (flying knee and punches) early in the first round.[7]
Amagov returned to the promotion on 18 August 2012 at Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman.[8] He faced Keith Berry at the event and won via TKO early in the first round after a side kick to the knee and punches on the ground.[9]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
[edit]On 19 January 2013, it was revealed that Amagov had signed to fight for the UFC.[10]
Amagov made his promotional and Welterweight debut against fellow newcomer and former Strikeforce veteran Chris Spång on 6 April 2013 at UFC on Fuel TV 9.[11] Amagov dominated the fight from start to finish, earning a unanimous decision victory.[12]
Amagov faced TJ Waldburger on 19 October 2013 at UFC 166.[13] He won the fight via knockout in the first round.[14]
Amagov was expected to face Jason High on 15 January 2014 at UFC Fight Night 35.[15] However, Amagov pulled out of the bout due to injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Beneil Dariush.[16] After more than a year of absence from the sport, BloodyElbow editor Karim Zidan stated that Amagov had "no interest" in returning to MMA, and that he wants to "watch his kids grow up and is tired of cutting weight".[17]
MMA return
[edit]In August 2016, it was announced that Amagov would return to MMA competition. He faced Jungle Fight champion Dirlei Broenstrup on 21 August 2016 in Russia and won the fight via submission in the first round.
Personal life
[edit]He is a devout sunni Muslim and has a wife and son.[18] On 5 June 2017, Amagov was involved in a violent altercation between rival Chechen business associates in Western Moscow that left two people dead and six others injured. Amagov was accused of stabbing another man in the chest during the encounter.[19][20]
