Taisumov wants the Top 10 with a win in Moscow

Since making his UFC debut in 2014, Russian knockout artist Mairbek Taisumov has earned five knockout victories and three straight Performance of the Night honors.

Despite losing a unanimous decision to Michel Prazeres, Taisumov’s record hasn’t had another blemish.

Now 6-1 since his promotional debut (26-5 overall), Taisumov has a strong qualification on his UFC resume and his last five opponents to use as references: knockout power.

In his last five fights, opponents have been lucky to make it to the second round and the two that did were knocked out before the second round’s halfway point.
