Murad Ramazanov (Russian: Мурад Рамазанов; born October 16, 1995) is a Russian mixed martial artist, currently competes in the Welterweight division for Professional Fighters League (PFL). He has previously fought in ONE Championship, Fight Nights Global, and Gorilla Fighting Championship (now Eagle FC).

Background

Ramazanov was born on October 16, 1995, in

Republic of Dagestan, Russia. He came from a close-knit, middle-class family in the capital of Makhachkala, where his father ran a successful shoe business and his mother tended to him and his siblings. With the sea and the mountains within reach, Ramazanov grew up both in the outdoors and on the streets, where he could channel his energy.[2]

Initially involved in Greco-Roman wrestling, Ramazanov ventured into MMA training around the time when Khabib Nurmagomedov gained widespread attention. Motivated by self-defense, Ramazanov attended extra classes to enhance his skills, focusing on chokeholds. Despite initially only knowing chokes from video games, he gradually applied them to real-life situations. As his abilities progressed, Ramazanov earned a place in the Nurmagomedov training room.[3]
