Abusupiyan Magomedov represents both Russia and Germany while competing as a middleweight within the UFC. During his extensive career, which commenced in 2010, he fought across the PFL, KSW, and various regional European circuits. These tenures included championship victories in Superior FC and German MMA Championship organizations. He balances his versatile skill set by drawing upon a background in kickboxing and wrestling. Following his move to Germany as a youth, he eventually secured a position at the UFD Gym to refine his professional craft.

He enters this September 2023 contest holding a career record of 25-5-1. His recent results include a first-round technical knockout loss to Sean Strickland in July 2023. Before that setback, he earned a performance bonus after stopping Dustin Stoltzfus via strikes in September 2022. Earlier victories feature a guillotine submission against Cezariusz Kęsik and a kimura finish over Slaviša Simeunović. This string of activity was preceded by a knockout defeat at the hands of Louis Taylor in late 2018.
