Shakhbulat Shamkhalaev Wiki

Shahbulat Shamhalaev is a Russian mixed martial artist currently competing in the featherweight division. He has a background in Muay Thai. He was a world champion in 2007 as well as a Kickboxing Russian National Champion, Sanshou Russian National Champ and a Karate Russian National Champion. He would make his MMA debut in 2009 and would amass a 9-1-1 record before coming to the United States, his only loss being to future UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Shamhalaev would make his Bellator debut in Season 7 of the featherweight tournament with a TKO finish of Cody Bollinger.

Shamhalaev would win the tournament by knocking out Rad Martinez in the second round, winning the tournament title, $100,000 and a shot at the Bellator Featherweight Champion. And with the injury to Daniel Strauss, Shamhalaev will now face off for the title at Bellator 95 against Pat Curran.
