Pawel Pawlak defeated Mamed Khalidov by TKO in the final seconds of the fourth round in a middleweight title fight. The victory marks Pawlak's fourth successful defense of his championship belt. Details about the specific promotion or additional context are limited in the post.
Pawel Pawlak made a fourth successful defense of his middleweight championship on April 19, stopping Mamed Khalidov by TKO in the closing seconds of the fourth round.
Pawlak, 37, trains out of Octopus Lodz in Poland and carries a professional record of 12 wins and 3 losses. The six-foot orthodox striker has a reach of 73 inches and has built his career around measured, physical middleweight competition. He lands 1.67 significant strikes per minute and mixes in takedown threats at a rate of one per 15 minutes, giving opponents multiple problems to solve over the course of a fight. A fourth title defense is a meaningful benchmark at any level of the sport, and Pawlak reached it by finishing Khalidov late when it mattered most.
Khalidov, a longtime name in European MMA, does not appear in the verified fighter database for this report, so specific record and statistical details for him are not available here.
Why it matters
- Four successful title defenses places Pawlak among the more durable champions in his regional scene
- A late TKO finish in round four underlines his ability to close fights when they are competitive
- The victory keeps Pawlak's name relevant in European middleweight discussions at age 37
