Adlan Umarov signs with ONE Championship carrying unbeaten 4-0 record
The 23-year-old Kazakh featherweight has finished all four of his professional opponents, the last three by rear-naked choke.
Kazakhstan's Adlan Umarov has signed with ONE Championship and will compete in its featherweight MMA division, bringing a 4-0 professional record to the promotion. His debut date and opponent have not yet been announced.
None of the 23-year-old's professional fights has gone the distance. He has stopped opponents on the feet on the regional circuit, but his approach is built on wrestling: he takes opponents down, holds them under top pressure and lands ground-and-pound, then looks for submissions when they try to scramble free. Each of his last three wins came by rear-naked choke.
Umarov stands 5ft 9in with a 71.3in reach, giving him notable length for featherweight. The division is held by ONE Featherweight MMA World Champion Tang Kai.
He follows former ONE Flyweight MMA World Champion Kairat "The Kazakh" Akhmetov, the most prominent of the Kazakh fighters to have competed for the promotion.
