Mixed martial arts career

M-1 Global

Magomedov was scheduled to challenge for the M-1 Welterweight championship against Shamil Zavurov at M-1 Challenge XXX: Shamil Zavurov vs. Yasubey Enomoto II on December 9, 2011.[5] The fight, however, was postponed.

Magomedov faced Yasubey Enomoto on March 16, 2012 at M-1 Challenge 31. He won the fight via unanimous decision (50–45, 49–47, 50–45) and to become new M-1 Global Welterweight Champion.

Magomedov faced Alexander Yakovlev on November 15, 2012 at M-1 Challenge 35.[6] He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Magomedov made his UFC debut against fellow promotional newcomer Tony Martin in a lightweight bout on February 1, 2014 at UFC 169.[7] After surviving a tight arm bar submission attempt by Martin in the first round, he rallied to win the fight via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28).

In his second fight, Magomedov faced Rodrigo Damm on May 31, 2014 at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale.[8] He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Magomedov faced Elias Silvério on December 20, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 58.[9] After winning the first two rounds, he won the fight via TKO in the third round after dropping Silvério with a stiff left hook and following up with punches, becoming the first man to beat Silvério.
