Makhmud Muradov (born 8 February 1990) is a Tajik-born Uzbek-Czech professional mixed martial artist, combat sambist and kickboxer fighting out of Prague, Czechia and Bukhara, Uzbekistan.[8][9][10][11] He is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight division.

As of September 29, 2019, he is #1 in the Tapology's Eastern European middleweight rankings.[14]
Background[edit]
Muradov was born on 8 February 1990 in Soviet Tajikistan, into a ethnic Uzbek family, to a Tajik father and a native Uzbek mother. In 1993, he moved with his family to his mother's native Uzbekistan due to the ongoing Tajik civil war, and in 2019, he was finally granted Uzbek citizenship.[3][1]
He trained boxing in his youth before transitioning to kickboxing and became Junior Uzbek Kickboxing Champion under the K1 rules.[15][16]
Muradov forced to start working at a young age due his father's disability caused by car accident. He also began his combat sambo career at the age of eighteen, that culminated in a well-paid job as a security guard in Russian Siberia. During this work in Siberia he was several times seriously stabbed and shot. Muradov then moved to Czech Republic in search of a better job to earn more money for his family and himself. He started training Muay Thai and MMA in Prague under the tutelage of Petr Kníže, who allow Muradov to train and sleep in his gym for free.
