Makhmud Muradov is 30-8-0 with one no contest, holds the OKTAGON light heavyweight title and the interim middleweight title, and on Tuesday, December 29, 2026, he fights champion Krzysztof Jotko to unify the middleweight belt at Oktagon 100 in Prague.
At 36, the Uzbek, who trains at Monster Gym in Prague, arrives with five straight wins, 30 wins in total and a finishing habit that has not faded with age.
Makhmud Muradov record: how the 30 wins came
According to our database, eighteen of Muradov's wins came by KO or TKO, three by submission and nine by decision. That makes 21 finishes, a 70% finish rate, counted as the share of wins that ended by KO, TKO or submission. Other sources use slightly different splits: OKTAGON's fighter profile shows a 67% finish rate.
The losses tell a different story: four by submission, three by decision and only one by KO or TKO. Opponents have rarely stopped him with strikes and have had more success on the mat. His last loss was a decision to Caio Borralho at UFC 280 in October 2022, and he has not lost since.
He made his professional debut on 29 April 2012, according to our records, so the 30 wins are the product of a long career, not a short hot streak.
Recent form: five wins in a row
The streak counts straight wins and skips the no contest against Aliaskhab Khizriev, which was stopped by an accidental eye poke after 11 seconds. Counting that no contest as a break, as our database's streak counter and some outlets do, the run is four.
| Date | Opponent | Result | Method | Round |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Aug 2026 | Will Fleury | Win | TKO (punches) | 2 |
| 14 Jun 2025 | Patrik Kincl | Win | Decision (unanimous) | 5 |
| 8 Mar 2025 | Yasubey Enomoto | Win | TKO | 2 |
| 21 Sep 2024 | Scott Askham | Win | Decision | 3 |
| 3 Feb 2024 | Aliaskhab Khizriev | No contest | Accidental eye poke | 1 |
| 22 Jul 2023 | Bryan Barberena | Win | Decision | 3 |
The latest result is the most striking. Muradov stepped in on short notice after Daniel Škvor withdrew injured, moved up to light heavyweight and was knocked down by Fleury in the first round, Radar MMA and Bloody Elbow report. He came back to stop Fleury with punches 19 seconds into the second round at Oktagon 92 and take the title. Before that he went the full five rounds with Kincl and won a unanimous decision for the interim middleweight title. He now holds titles in two weight classes inside OKTAGON.
On October 31 he also appeared at the special-rules G MMA 1 show in Prague against six members of the Kotlár family, beating all of them in a few minutes, per Top-Fight.cz. That exhibition is not part of his professional record: OKTAGON's profile still lists him at 30-8-0.
What the numbers say about his style
Across 13 fights with tracked stats in our database, Muradov lands 46.23 significant strikes per fight at 58.58% accuracy. That accuracy is the number to hold on to: he does not throw wildly.
The wrestling is just as efficient. He lands 1.85 takedowns per fight at 75% accuracy and averages 1:51 of control time. Knockdowns come at 0.38 per fight, and submission attempts are rare at 0.08. He wins by landing cleanly and managing position, then finishing when the opening appears. Our records also credit him with two Performance of the Night bonuses.
He stands 188 cm with a 192 cm reach and fights from an orthodox stance.
Jotko next: Oktagon 100 in Prague
Muradov vs. Jotko headlines Oktagon 100 at the O2 arena in Prague on Tuesday, December 29, 2026. OKTAGON bills it as the bout for the undisputed middleweight title: Jotko is the champion, Muradov the interim champion. OKTAGON lists the event start as 17:00 Prague time (CET), which is 16:00 UTC and 11:00 a.m. ET; the main event goes on later in the night. FightBook MMA lists OKTAGON.TV pay-per-view as the official stream.
Jotko comes in at 30-6-0 with one no contest, the same number of wins as Muradov. The Pole won the title by beating Kerim Engizek by unanimous decision at Oktagon 91 in July 2026, after submitting him in the first round at Oktagon 82 in January. According to OKTAGON, he is unbeaten in Europe.
Muradov drops back to middleweight, where he fought the three bouts before the Fleury win. A win in Prague would stretch the streak to six and make him the undisputed OKTAGON middleweight champion while he holds the light heavyweight belt.
