The UFC’s recently signed heavyweight prospect is scheduled to compete in Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling at the World Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Earlier this year, the UFC signed heavyweight wrestling prospect Bilyal Makhov, even though he had never fought in professional MMA. Before setting his sights on full-time participation in MMA, Bilyal has his sights set on the FILA World Wrestling Championships, where he will compete in both Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling.
Makhov, an Olympic bronze medalist and three-time freestyle world championship wrestler, plans to resume his preparation for MMA at K-Dojo Warriro Tribe once he finishes at the Worlds.
