Marcin Tybura is a Polish Heavyweight mixed martial artist who currently fights in the UFC. A professional competitor since 2011, he previously fought for M-1 and was an M-1 Global Heavyweight Champion and M-1 Grand Prix 2013 Heavyweight Champion.

Tybura began training in 2006 after a friend introduced him to the sport. Within weeks, he began feeling the urge to compete. However, he would not make his professional debut until several years later.

Tybura made his professional MMA debut November 5, 2011 with a submission victory over Robert Marcok. The bout was part of the Polish MMA Championships. He would win both fights of this one-night tournament.

Tybura's first six fights as a professional would take place within Poland, following which he signed on with notable MMA promotion M-1. At M-1 Challenge 42 on October 20, 2013 he would defeat Konstantīns Gluhovs to win the M-1 Grand Prix 2013, which had begun in February of that year. On August 15, 2014 he would meet another future UFC heavyweight, Damian Grabowski, for the M-1 heavyweight title. Tybura would win the fight via a North-South choke.

Tybura signed with the UFC in January 2016.

Tybura made his promotional debut April 10, 2016 against Timothy Johnson at UFC Fight Night 86. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Tybura next faced Czech heavyweight Viktor Pesta on August 6, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 92. He won the fight via knock out (head kick), earning a Performance of the Night bonus in the process.

Tybura next fought at UFC 209 on March 4, 2017. He faced Brazilian heavyweight Luis Henrique and won the fight via TKO in the third round.

Tybura faced Andrei Arlovski on June 17, 2017 at UFC Fight Night 111. He won the fight by unanimous decision (29-28, 28-27, 29-27).
