Nikita Krylov (Ukrainian: Микита Андрійович Крилов; Russian: Никита Андреевич Крылов; born March 7, 1992) is a Ukrainian mixed martial artist signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he competes in the light heavyweight division.[1] He was the first Ukrainian to sign with the UFC. A professional competitor since 2012, he has also competed for M-1 Global. All of his wins have been first-round finishes.
Background
Krylov, from Donetsk in the Ukraine, originally began training in Kyokushin Karate at the age of ten as his father had been a successful competitor in the sport himself. Krylov made the transition into mixed martial arts in 2012.[2][1]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Krylov made his debut on July 27, 2012, at West Fight 4 in Donetsk, Ukraine, punching out Alexander Umrikhin for a TKO. He won eleven more fights in the next five months, before submitting to Vladimir Mishchenko on December 29 at Oplot Challenge 22. After two quick wins in a Gladiators Fighting Challenge tournament in Donetsk on January 19, 2013, he rematched Mishchenko on March 8 at Oplot Challenge 40, and again submitted to an arm-triangle choke. A month later, he defeated Gabriel Tampu by TKO at M-1 Challenge 38 in St. Petersburg, Russia.[3]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
With a record of 15-2, Krylov made his UFC debut on August 31, 2013 at UFC 164 against Soa Palelei.[4] He lost via third-round TKO from ground and pound, in a lackluster fight that saw both fighters exhausted after the first round.[5] Krylov blamed his fatigue on nervousness and a long trip from Donetsk to Milwaukee.[6]
Krylov returned on January 25, 2014, in the opening bout of UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Thomson, scoring a 25-second TKO over Walt Harris with a head kick and punches.[7]
Following the win, Krylov told reporters he is considering dropping down to the light heavyweight division for his next bout.[6]
Krylov replaced the fired Thiago Silva, and was choked unconscious while attempting a first-round guillotine on Ovince St. Preux in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 171 on March 15, 2014.[8]
Krylov TKOed Cody Donovan in the first round on July 19, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 46.[9]
Krylov guillotine choked Stanislav Nedkov in the first round on January 24, 2015 at UFC on Fox: Gustafsson vs. Johnson.[10]
Krylov is expected to face Marcos Rogério de Lima on June 20, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 69.[11]
Personal life
Krylov is enrolled at Donetsk Law Institute, and his heroes are Ilya Mate, Igor Vovchanchyn and Al Capone,[1] after whom he is nicknamed and models his gimmick.[6]
