Nobody hands you anything at middleweight. Abus Magomedov has built a 29-7 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Germany's regional scene.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 2.6 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas. Add a 78" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
Last time out he beat Michal Oleksiejczuk (Submission (Guillotine Choke) R1) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
