Bakhtiyar Abdulaev’s record, in numbers

Bakhtiyar Abdulaev’s official record is 10-2. Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 8 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for — 6 wins, 2 losses — because 4 bouts from the official record are not in the history we hold.

The 6 wins break down as 1 by knockout, 3 by submission and 2 by decision — 4 of 6 inside the distance, a finish rate of 67%. Across all 8 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 7 minutes 49 seconds.

Bakhtiyar Abdulaev has been stopped twice in the 8 bouts on file — 1 by knockout and 1 by submission — which is 25% of them.

Of the 8 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for, 1 was for a title. One of them has come since October 2024.

Set against the 557 Featherweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Bakhtiyar Abdulaev has a finish rate above 48% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 23% of them and a two-year bout count above 60% of them. The comparison is made inside the division rather than across the whole roster, because how often a division finishes depends heavily on what it weighs.

Bakhtiyar Abdulaev is 39, born 29 August 1987.

These figures are recomputed from Bakhtiyar Abdulaev’s bout history each time results are synced, so they follow the record rather than a fixed snapshot.
