Magomedov, nicknamed "Tiger," carries a 21-5-0 professional record and competes out of Russia.

He averages 0.65 significant strikes per minute and has recorded zero takedown attempts per 15 minutes, marking him as a stand-and-trade competitor.
His opponent, Brazil's Leandro Higo — known as "Alter" — enters the contest at 23-7-0 and at 36 years old remains an experienced presence at this weight class. Higo posts an even higher striking accuracy of 59.81 percent, though his volume of 0.4 significant strikes per minute is lower than Magomedov's output.
Why it matters
- Magomedov's miss of 0.6 kg over the catchweight limit means the bout may proceed under modified terms, typically a financial penalty paid to the compliant fighter.
- Higo, who made weight without issue, gains a built-in advantage entering the contest.
- Elsewhere on the card, Alexander Chizhov and Gadzhi Rabadanov — a 32-year-old Russian with a 26-5-2 record and a strong 3.43 takedowns per 15 minutes — both made weight for an interim title fight at 72.6 kg, and the main event between Logan Storley and Florim Zendeli saw both men come in within range at 77.3 kg and 77.6 kg respectively.
