A five-time Professional Fighters League veteran, Magomedov will
return to action for the first time since December 2020, when he
submitted Cezary
Kesik in the second round at KSW 57. “Abus” went 3-1-1 in the
PFL, falling to Louis
Taylor in the 2018 middleweight finals.
Muradov began his Octagon tenure with three straight triumphs —
including KO/TKO wins against Trevor
Smith and Andrew
Sanchez. Most recently, however, he had a 14-bout professional
winning streak snapped in a second-round submission defeat to
Gerald
Meerschaert at UFC on ESPN 30.
