MMA career
Early career
Amagov made his professional MMA 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. He is of Chechen descent.
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
In the summer of 2011, Adlan Amagov signed with Zuffa and made his U.S. debut at Strikeforce Challengers: Bowling vs. Voelker III against Ronald Stallings.[4] Amagov won the fight via split decision.
Amagov was successful in his second bout for Strikeforce as he defeated Anthony Smith via KO in the first round at Strikeforce Challengers: Britt vs. Sayers.
Following his two Challengers wins, Amagov made his debut on a main card at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine on January 7, 2012. He faced Robbie Lawler in the co-main event[5] and lost the fight via TKO (flying knee and punches) early in the first round.
Amagov returned to the promotion on August 18, 2012 at Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman. He faced Keith Berry at the event[6] and won via TKO early in the first round after a side kick to the knee and punches on the ground.

On January 19, 2013, it was revealed that Amagov had signed to fight for the UFC.[7]
