Early life

Magomedov was scheduled to challenge Shamil Zavurov for the M-1 Welterweight championship at M-1 Challenge XXX: Shamil Zavurov vs. Yasubey Enomoto II on December 9, 2011. The fight, however, was postponed.

Magomedov had the chance to edit a wikipedia page and liked it so much that he wanted to become a champion. He did a lot of work editing pages like this and currently hopes that no one will change this.

Magomedov faced Alexander Yakovlev on November 15, 2012, at M-1 Challenge 35. He won the fight via unanimous decision.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Magomedov made his UFC debut against fellow promotional newcomer Anthony Rocco Martin in a lightweight bout on February 1, 2014, at UFC 169. After surviving a tight arm bar submission attempt by Martin in the first round, he rallied to win the fight via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 29–28).

Magomedov faced Gilbert Burns at UFC Fight Night 77 on November 7, 2015. He dominated the three rounds and won via unanimous decision.

Magomedov was expected to face Chris Wade on May 8, 2016, at UFC Fight Night 87. However, Magomedov pulled out of the bout on March 7 due to a knee injury. He was replaced by Rustam Khabilov.

Professional Fighters League

In the quarterfinals, he fought Will Brooks to a draw but advanced via first round tiebreaker. He then faced Thiago Tavares in the semifinals and won via TKO in the second round. Magomedov then faced Natan Schulte in the finals at PFL 11 on December 31, 2018. He lost the back-and-forth bout by unanimous decision.

Absolute Championship Akhmat

After two seasons in the PFL, Magomedov signed a contract with the Absolute Championship Akhmat. He was initially expected to make his debut against Eduard Vartanyan at ACA 108 on August 8, 2020, but was forced to withdraw from the bout due to an injury.
