Quick read
A closer look at the two fights that have gone beyond the first round for prospect Abdul-Rahman Yakhyaev reveals a well-rounded skill set under pressure. Against Nazhmudin Yusupov in 2022, Yakhyaev trailed before winning by triangle choke in the second round. In a five-round decision against Nikolai Kovalenko in 2023, he absorbed a knockdown and early adversity before controlling the final three rounds to win by unanimous decision.
