Edil Yessengulov dominates top opponent in middleweight debut after eight-year climb

Edil Yessengulov scored his 27th career victory with a dominant performance against top-ranked opponent Ibrahim Magomedov in the middleweight division (up to 84 kg). Remarkably, Yessengulov began his career eight years ago fighting at bantamweight (up to 61 kg), making his journey through multiple weight classes to middleweight particularly impressive. His latest victory demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level in a significantly heavier weight class. The post expresses interest in seeing how Yessengulov would fare against top-5 ranked middleweights given this strong performance.
