Combat Sambo career

After years of Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling Bagautinov became a world combat sambo champion in Minsk 2012.[2]

At the World Sambo Championships 2012 Bagautinov defeated Belarusian Sambo fighter Novitski Vladislav via decision (15-0) in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, Bagautinov defeated Kyrgyzian Sambo Master Razykov Alibek via TKO at 2:19 in first round. In the tournament final, Bagautinov defeated Asset Sagyndykov via armbar submission at 0:35 in first round.

Bagautinov was stripped of all awards of Sambo and suspended from competition for two years (November 8, 2012 - November 8, 2014) after testing positive for methylhexanamine.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Bagautinov made his professional MMA debut in December 2009. He is a veteran of the Russian MMA promotion Fight Nights, where he has a record of 8-1; Bagautinov compiled a record of 10-2 before signing with the UFC. He was listed as one of the top flyweight prospects in 2013.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

It was announced in June 2013 that Bagautinov had signed a five-fight deal with the UFC.[5]

In his debut, Bagautinov faced Marcos Vinicius on September 4, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 28.[6] After a back-and-forth first two rounds, Bagautinov won the fight via TKO in the third round, after dropping Vinicius with a straight right hand.

In his second fight for the promotion, Bagautinov fought Tim Elliott on November 16, 2013 at UFC 167.[7] He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Bagautinov fought John Lineker on February 1, 2014 at UFC 169.[8] He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Subsequent to his loss, on July 10, the British Columbia Athletic Commission (BCAC) announced that Bagautinov tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO) prior to the title fight. In response, the BCAC has suspended him from mixed martial arts competition for one year.[10]
