Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Stanislav Nedkov (Bulgarian: Станислав Недков) (born December 9, 1981) is a Bulgarian professional mixed martial artist, who formerly competed in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He has formerly competed for World Victory Road and Pancrase.

Nedkov was born in Veliko Tarnovo and began wrestling when he was 10 years old. A two-time national champion in freestyle wrestling, he has also had first-place finishes in international tournaments in Russia, Moldova, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Nedkov has also studied in sumo under Kotooshu Katsunori and won his first grappling championship a year after he began learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Nedkov made his professional mixed martial arts debut in relative obscurity in 2006 and amassed an undefeated record of 7-0 in his native Bulgaria.

Following a year away from the sport, Nedkov was signed to a contract with the Japanese promotion World Victory Road.

In June 2010, it was announced Nedkov had signed a contract with the UFC. Nedkov was expected to make his UFC debut against Rodney Wallace on August 7, 2010 at UFC 117, but Nedkov was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Phil Davis

Nedkov was expected to face Steve Cantwell on October 16, 2010 at UFC 120. However, less than 48 hours before the event, Cantwell was forced off the card after suffering a knee injury during a pre-fight training session. With no time to find a suitable opponent for Nedkov, the bout was cancelled.
