Career Overview
Tagir Ulanbekov
Tagir Ulanbekov is a Russian mixed martial artist from Dagestan who competes in the flyweight division of the UFC.
Born in the village of Dylym, Ulanbekov began wrestling as a child after his uncle introduced him to the sport. At age eight he relocated to Makhachkala, where he joined Eagles MMA and trained under the late Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov alongside future UFC champions Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
Before turning to MMA, Ulanbekov built a decorated background in combat sambo, capturing a world championship, a Eurasian championship, and a European Cup title in the discipline. That wrestling and sambo foundation carries directly into his cage game, where he is known as a relentless, high-pace grappler with a dangerous submission arsenal built around chokes.
Ulanbekov turned professional in 2013 and opened his career with eight straight wins, capturing the Fight Nights Global flyweight championship by submitting Vartan Asatryan via guillotine choke. After his first professional loss, he rebuilt momentum by winning the Gorilla Fighting Championship flyweight title and defending it twice, which helped earn him a spot on the UFC roster in 2020.
