Born in Russia and a resident of Germany since age fifteen, Abusupiyan Magomedov competes as a middleweight in the UFC. His background is rooted in kickboxing and wrestling, skillsets he honed while fighting for organizations like PFL and KSW before joining the UFC roster in 2021. Throughout his professional journey, he has established a reputation for securing victories through both submissions and knockouts.

Entering the event with a professional mark of 25-5-1, Magomedov aims to bounce back from a July 2023 technical knockout loss against Sean Strickland. Prior to that setback, he earned a technical knockout win over Dustin Stoltzfus in late 2022. Earlier successes in his record include a guillotine choke finish against Cezariusz Kęsik, a kimura submission of Slaviša Simeunović, and a knockout loss to Louis Taylor.
