Adlan Mairbekovich Amagov (Russian: Адлан Майрбекович Амагов; born October 30, 1986) is a Russian mixed martial artist and kickboxer of Chechen heritage, who most recently competed in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor from 2007-2014, Amagov also formerly competed for Strikeforce and is the former Unifight World Champion.
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.
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.
He is managed by Sam Kardan and Mike Constantino of MVC Management.
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. Amagov won the fight via split decision.
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.
