Quick read
Abdul-Rahim Yakhyaev owns two career fights that went past the first round, both revealing different dimensions of his skill set. Against Nazhmudin Yusupov in ACA Young Eagles in June 2022, the then-21-year-old survived adversity to finish with a triangle choke in round two. In a five-round contest against judoka Nikolai Kovalenko in January 2023, Yakhyaev absorbed a knockdown before rallying to win a unanimous decision through dominant grappling control over the final three rounds.
