Abukar Yandiev is a famous Russian lightweight who performed in mixed martial arts and judo, which at the moment has already completed his career. The athlete held incredibly beautiful and fierce fights that remained in the hearts of many fans of this sport. Having gained the upper hand in the title confrontation, he left the belt of the champion of the organization M-1.
First mention
The fighter was born in the small city of Aldan, which is located in the Republic of Yakutia. Soon the family moves to their historical homeland, namely to Ingushetia. There, at an early age, he begins to play sports. Most of all, the boy liked the judo section, where, having matured, he achieves huge heights. The athlete won the European Cup, and also became the champion of France. He is a master of sports in Russia in this type of martial arts.
Having gained experience and passed an excellent training camp, the fighter will make his debut in the fall of 2014 in MMA. He did not need much time on the floor. In the third minute of the first round, he holds a choke to the opponent. Six months later, Abukar again goes to the duel. Yandiev surprised the audience with his unsurpassed wrestling work, where the opponent gave up after 17 seconds from the start of the fight.
It's hard to believe, but this is not the fastest confrontation on the track record of a fighter. A week later, he performs in Yaroslavl, where it took only 9 seconds to defeat the Bulgarian athlete Mikhail Markov, after which the referee stopped the fight. Further, our hero signs a significant contract in his career.
The path to the championship
The Russian was opposed by a representative from Armenia, who also lost in the first leg of the fight. Later, he records in his record a technical knockout victory over a Ukrainian, but on June 6, 2015, Brazilian Charles Andrade, in front of fans of his native republic, inflicts the only defeat in a painful manner.
Four months later, the opportunity presented itself to get even with the offender, and the battle lasted less than a minute, where Abukar Yandiev, who was eager for revenge, "walked" the tank over the enemy. In the spring of 2016, he won the title in the OFS Federation - Octagon Fighting Sensation. The athlete was nominated in the middle weight category, and for the next performance, lightweight switched. He did not fail, having won another victory in a dominant manner. And on the horizon there were prospects for a championship in the M-1 alliance.
To argue who is the best, faced with the current holder of the champion title - Alexander Butenko. The challenger took the initiative into his own hands, and the stunned enemy did not have time to defend himself from his furious attacks until the judge intervened, stopping the beating.
Very interesting and significant is the sports biography of Abukar Yandiev: 9 victories and 1 defeat, but the most interesting is that the total duration of all time spent in the ring and in the raid is a little more than 10 minutes. We could see a brilliant career continuation in the UFC, but because of the long visa, he ends his career.
