Movlid Khaybulaev (born October 16, 1990) is a Russian mixed martial artist currently fighting in the Featherweight division of the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
Personal life
Khaybulaev was born in the Republic of Dagestan, a republic of Russia situated in the North Caucasus region, along the Caspian Sea.[1] Khaybulaev trains with former UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.[2][3] Khaybulaev credits Nurmagomedov, as well as Nurmagomedov's father, Dagestan legend Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who passed away due to COVID-19 complications in 2020, with inspiring him to compete in mixed martial arts.[4]
Movlid was born in Dagestan, and like most of his peers, he combined his studies at school with training. He started with freestyle wrestling, but later the attention of the teenager was attracted by combat sambo - in both disciplines the guy achieved serious success. At the age of 16, the athlete became the champion of the Southern Federal District in wrestling, and a year later, he secured the result at the Russian Championship.[5]
After, Khaibulaev entered the branch of the Law Academy under the Ministry of Justice of Russia, located in Makhachkala, and in parallel with his studies, continued to win new awards. In 2009, again in the Southern Federal District, he took first place in the combat sambo championship, and after that he switched to mixed martial arts, and a new hobby opened up great horizons for him.
Mixed martial arts career
Early Career
In the same year, 2009, Movlid took part in the Dagestan Mixed Fight Championship and, having won another big victory, met Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Training under his supervision made it possible to expand the arsenal of techniques used, thanks to which, two years later, the fighter made his debut in the professional ring. His first fight took place under the banners of ProFC, and in the fight, which took place in the format of 2 rounds of 5 minutes, the newcomer defeated Rustam Akhmarov.
In December of the same year, "Killer" was sent to the MMA World Championship in Antalya, and he, being a 3rd year student, became a gold medalist there. After that, Khaibulaev got another victory among the pros and got the opportunity to fight in the Fight Nights league. The next three bouts took place there, moreover, successfully, and with short forays into other organizations, the Dagestani built a career in this promotion.
By 2017, Movlid had 11 victories in a row and did not know the bitterness of defeat. After a quick finish in a fight with Paata Robakidze, his representatives came to the management of One Championship, and organized a fight for him in Malaysia against Herbert Burns, who later signed a contract with the UFC. Despite the high-class BJJ of the Brazilian, the Russian easily translated him and did not let him breathe, due to which he won the match.
Then he returned to his homeland, fought for the last time in Fight Nights, defeating Ilya Kurzanov, and with such baggage, he signed a long-term contract with the PFL, becoming one of the featherweights of the Western organization.
Professional Fighters League
In the very first bout at the preselection, Khaibulaev made it clear that he was very serious. Damon Jackson was put against him, but no one expected that this fight would last only 10 seconds. The American went on a series of 5 wins, all early, and came to a new league from the LFA. The battle began with a reconnaissance, but it all ended with a furious flying knee performed by Movlid, after which it was not even necessary to finish.
Such an application shook all the participants of the competition, however, in the next stage, our athlete could not defeat Andre Harrison, bringing the confrontation to a draw. This gave him the opportunity to qualify for the playoffs and share the cage with Daniel Pineda. This fight ended even worse - after a low kick performed by Daniel, Khaibulaev lost his balance and missed a few hits in pursuit, after which the referee stopped the match. However, it later turned out that Pineda was caught on illegal drugs and the result of the fight was canceled.
And yet, participation in the Grand Prix was no longer possible, and therefore, for a while, Movlid moved to Abu Dhabi, where he won one convincing victory and returned to the United States again. In the new season of 2021, he managed to start successfully, taking the victory by unanimous decision from Lazar Stojadinovic, and in the next round, Shaymon Moraes, who previously played in the UFC, will be waiting for the Russian.
During his May 2019 PFL debut against Damon Jackson, he landed a flying knee strike, which ended the fight in 10 seconds.[6] He continued his streak of wins (13-0-1) until his second fight with PFL, which ended in a majority draw against Andre Harrison.[7]
While Khaybulaev has an undefeated record as of June 2022, it did not come without controversy. During the 2019 Playoffs, Khaybulaev was knocked out by Daniel Pineda in 29 seconds of the first round.[8] The result was later overturned to no contest after the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended Pineda and fined him $12,500 after finding elevated testosterone levels from his bout with Khaybulaev on October 17, 2019.[9]
In 2021, Movlid competed in his second PFL season. At PFL 1 (2021), he beat Lazar Stojadinovic to secure three points in the regular season. In June, Khaybulaev beat 2019 featherweight champion Lance Palmer to secure three more points, bringing his season point total to six, thus securing him as the fourth seed in the featherweight bracket.[10]
On August 13, 2021 Movlid fought number one seed Brendan Loughnane in the 2021 PFL Playoffs. He edged out Loughnane with a split decision victory to clinch a spot in the 2021 PFL World Championships.[11][12]
On October 27 2021, Movlid faced off against Chris Wade for the 2021 PFL featherweight world title.[11][13] Khaybulaev outperformed Wade for 5 rounds and won via unanimous decision to win the PFL Featherweight title and earned a $1 million prize.[14] Wade called the loss his “hardest loss in MMA” history and said he was depressed following the fight.[15]
In March 2022, PFL announced on Twitter that Khaybulaev was injured and would not be defending his crown in the 2022 season.[16][17] Loughrane, who lost the 2021 championship to Khaybulaev, lamented his inability to have a rematch with the champion, but admitted he was relieved not to have to fight Khaybulaev again.[18][19] Khaybulaev was dominant for the majority of the three-round fight, despite getting bloodied by Loughnane in the third round. Two out of three cage-side judges picked Khaybulaev as the winner, with the judge who chose Loughnane getting laughed at by announcer Sean O’Connell.[11]
