Ikram Sabirovich Aliskerov[lower-alpha 1] (born December 7, 1992) is a Russian professional mixed martial artist and combat sambo competitor who competes in the middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Aliskerov is a four-time world champion in combat sambo (FIAS & WCSF)[4][5][6][7][8][9] and two-time European champion (ESF & ECSF).[10][11][12][13]

Early life

An ethnic Lezgin, Aliskerov was born on December 7, 1992, in the village of Kasumkent in the Suleyman-Stalsky District of Dagestan, Russia. He started playing sports in the 5th grade, where he began attending sambo and judo classes.[1][14] For years, Aliskerov trained under the guidance of experienced trainers who came from Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s gym. At the age of 19, he was invited to join the “Champion” club by coach Esadull Emiragaev, where he also began training in mixed martial arts.[14]

Combat sambo career

During his time as a combat sambo competitor, he became a world champion in 2016 under the FIAS banner,[15] a two-time World Cup champion in 2014[16] and 2015[17] again under FIAS, and a European Champion in 2017[18][19] under the European Sambo Federation banner.[19]

In September 2012, Aliskerov won gold at the Combat Sambo World Championships in 82 kg under the European Combat Sambo Federation banner.[20] Former Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov came out third in the 82 kg category against Aliskerov.[21]

In December 2012, Aliskerov won the World Combat Sambo Championship in 82 kg under the World Combat Sambo Federation banner.[22] It was again in this tournament that Amosov came out third against Aliskerov.[23] Ikram Aliskerov is one of a few combat athletes who have technically beaten Yaroslav Amosov on two occasions in combat sambo tournaments.[24][25][26]

During Aliskerov's career as a sambist, his victories included wins over world champions like Yaroslav Amosov, Murad Kerimov,[27][28] and Raimond Magomedaliev[29][30][31][32] in combat sambo tournaments.[33][34][35][36][37]

Aliskerov would have competed for a fifth gold medal had he not lost to Alexey Ivanov (three-time sambo world champion)[38] in a closely contested final.[37][39] As a result of being the runner-up in the said tournament, Aliskerov qualified for and won the 2017 European Championships, held in Minsk, Belarus.
