Khalidov joins Sengoku

Mamed Khalidov has signed a deal with Japanese MMA promotion Sengoku and will make his debut on November 7th.

Khalidov, who normally competes at light-heavyweight, will fight Jorge Santiago in a middleweight bout.

Khalidov’s management announced the deal this week.

“I’m extremely happy. I look forward to landing at the airport in Japan and entering the ring. Each fight motivates me, especially abroad, when I can show my game to the wider audience,” Khalidov commented.

“A week ago I weighed 90 kilograms, till today I dropped 4. I still have a lot of time, it won’t be a problem.”
