Edil Essengulov has achieved his 27th career victory in dominant fashion over top opponent Ibrahim Magomedov at middleweight (84 kg). Remarkably, Essengulov began his MMA career at bantamweight (61 kg) just eight years ago. The transition from 61 kg to 84 kg represents a significant weight jump over his career. His performance against the highly-ranked Magomedov demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level of the middleweight division. The post expresses interest in seeing how Essengulov would fare against a top-five opponent in the division.
