Mamed Khalidov (Russian: Мамед Магомедович Халидов, romanized: Mamed Magomedovich Khalidov, IPA: [mɐˈmʲɛt maɣɔmʲɛdɔvʲit͡ʂ xɐˈlʲidəf]; Polish: Mamed Chalidow [ˈmamɛt xaˈlidɔf]; born 17 July 1980) is a Polish mixed martial artist. He is best known for competing in the Middleweight division of Polish MMA promotion KSW, where he is the former KSW Light Heavyweight and KSW Middleweight Champions. He is currently ranked #1 in the KSW Middleweight rankings.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Mamed Khalidov was born in Grozny, Soviet Union. He began practicing Kyokushin around the age of 12 or 13, where he also holds a black belt. At the age of 17, he fled from his homeland to Poland and continued practicing Kyokushin, while adding other combat styles to his repertoire such as Taekwondo, Shotokan, wrestling and boxing soon after his arrival. He also became competitive in all sports. Later he also became interested about becoming a mixed martial artist and began training mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, combat sambo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and grappling.

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

As of December 2011, Khalidov has fought eleven times under the KSW banner, though never featuring in a tournament, instead fighting individually such opponents as Daniel Tabera and Matt Lindland.

Khalidov made his US debut with EliteXC on their October 10, 2008 ShoXC card against American Jason Guida.[2] After almost two hard-fought rounds, Khalidov stopped Guida on the feet with an unanswered torrent of punches.

Following the collapse of EliteXC, Khalidov has expressed interest in a hasty return to KSW, as previously outlined by his signing with ProElite in favor of non-exclusive contract status. Due to a broken hand, Khalidov was unable to return for KSW X on December 12, 2008. Following his recovery, he fought PRIDE veteran Daniel Acacio at KSW XI on 15 May, knocking him out at 1:10 of the first round to win the newly created KSW Light Heavyweight Championship.

Khalidov signed a three-fight deal with World Victory Road Sengoku and his first appearance for the promotion was on the November 7th card against Sengoku middleweight champion Jorge Santiago. Although, the fight was not a title bout,[3] Khalidov defeated Santiago via first-round TKO. A rematch of the bout was held at World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku Raiden Championships 12 on March 7, 2010, for the Middleweight Championship, which Khalidov lost via controversial unanimous decision.

At KSW XIII Mamed fought Ryuta Sakurai to a draw. Sakurai secured a kimura early in the first round, but Khalidov escaped. During the rest of the fight he had 6 submission attempts including 4 guillotine chokes, 1 ankle lock and 1 heel hook, but couldn't force the tap from Sakurai.

Mamed Khalidov was expected to face Thales Leites and later Matt Lindland at KSW XV[4] However, both fighters were pulled from the card. Instead, Khalidov faced James Irvin at the event and won via submission at 0:33 into the first round. He eventually faced Lindland at KSW 16 in May 2011 and won via submission in the first round.

Khalidov was originally scheduled to face Paulo Filho at KSW 17. However, Filho was forced out of the bout due to him going into rehab for a drug addiction and he was replaced by Jesse Taylor. Khalidov won the fight via submission (kneebar) in the first round.

Khalidov next competed against former UFC fighter Rodney Wallace on May 12, 2012, at KSW 19. He won the fight via KO in the first round.

On December 1, 2012, he defeated Kendall Grove and won the fight via submission (achilles lock). Khalidov next faced Melvin Manhoef at KSW 23 on June 8, 2013, winning the fight by front choke in the first round.

On July 30, 2018, it was announced that Khalidov had vacated his middleweight championship belt in order to pursue a rematch against KSW Light Heavyweight champion Tomasz Narkun.[5] On October 9, 2018, it was announced that the rematch would happen at KSW 46: Narkun vs. Khalidov 2 on December 1, 2018.[6] Khalidov lost the rematch via unanimous decision and retired from the sport in the cage.[7]

In September 2019, news surfaced that Khalidov will be returning from retirement to face Scott Askham in a catchweight bout at KSW 52 on December 7, 2019.[8] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[9]

Khalidov next challenged Scott Askham for the KSW Middleweight Championship in a rematch bout at KSW 55: Askham vs. Khalidov 2 on October 10, 2020.[9] He reclaimed the title via first-minute knockout.[10]

Khalidov defended his title against Roberto Soldić on December 18, 2021, at KSW 65: Khalidov vs. Soldić.[11] He lost the bout and his title via knockout after getting caught with a left hook in the second round.[12][13]

Khalidov faced Mariusz Pudzianowski at KSW 77: Khalidov vs. Pudzianowski on December 17, 2022.[14] He went on to defeat Pudzianowski via first-round TKO stoppage after Pudzian tapped to ground and pound.[15]

Khalidov faced Scott Askham in trilogy at XTB KSW 83: Colosseum 2 on June 3, 2023.[16] He won the bout in the third round after hitting Askham with flying switch kick and finishing him with punches.[17]

On February 24, 2024, in the main event of XTB KSW Epic: Chalidow vs Adamek, he fought Tomasz Adamek in a boxing match.[18] He lost due to a hand injury after the third round.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

Khalidov acquired Polish citizenship in 2010.[20]

In June 2019 news surfaced that the police arrested Khalidov due to alleged illegal import of stolen cars. Khalidov is yet to appear before court.[21]
