What is Abus Magomedov's MMA record? New prodigy from the Khabib Nurmagomedov clan

Abus Magomedov has an MMA record of 25-4-1, including 14 knockouts and six submission victories. In just his second fight in the multi-billion dollar UFC promotion, the middleweight fighter is set to headline a card against a prominent fighter in Sean Strickland.

Magomedov started his professional fighting career way back in February 2010 when he went up against Nicola di Loreto at OC - Cage Fight Night 6. The 32-year-old made light work of his opponent and finished him with a guillotine choke just 30 seconds into the fight.

Magomedov built an impressive eight-fight win streak at the beginning of his MMA career before suffering his first loss in March 2013 against Andreas Stahl at HFC - Heroes Fighting.

But just a few months later, the Russian bounced back with an impressive first-round TKO victory against Andreas Birgels in June 2013. Magomedov failed to build momentum as he came up short in his next fight against Rafal Moks at GMC - Next Level and lost via guillotine choke in the first round.

The losses did not deter the 32-year-old as he turned things around by winning his next four professional bouts. In November 2015, Magomedov suffered the third loss of his career as he lost via unanimous decision to Mikkel Parlo at GMC 7.

The Russian then went undefeated in his next 10 outings before suffering a loss to Louis Taylor in December 2018. After that, Magomedov won his next three fights, including a victory against Dustin Stoltzfus in his UFC debut in September 2022. Magomedov ran through Stoltzfus and finished him via TKO just 19 seconds into the fight.
