Jordan Radev (Bulgarian: Йордан Радев; born March 4, 1976) is a Bulgarian Olympic wrestler and professional mixed martial artist. He was the first Bulgarian mixed martial artist to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship in its middleweight division.

Radev had two bouts in the UFC - at a fight night against Andrew McFedries and at UFC 79 against Dean Lister. After the UFC bouts, his next fight was scheduled to be against the Cuban/Australian judoka Hector Lombard in the Australian promotion Cage Fighting Championships. However, he was denied a visa to Australia and therefore did not appear.

Besides the UFC, Radev has fought in various other organizations, marking notable wins against the Polish MMA legend Grzegorz Jakubowski in KSW 9 – Konfrontacja, Yuya Shirai in M-1 Global, and against Alexander Shlemenko in the Helsinki Fight Festival. He is also the head MMA coach of the Bulgarian National MMA team in the M-1 Challenge fighting league.

While still active as an MMA fighter, Radev is currently also the head MMA trainer in the Fight Factory in Brooklyn, New York, - the largest boxing and MMA gym on the US East Coast.
