Gamid Khizriev Record, stats and next fight

Analysis

Gamid Khizriev is a Russian mixed martial artist undefeated through eight professional fights, now competing in the PFL after a career built on the Russian regional circuits and then UAE Warriors. A submission specialist, he has won five of his fights that way, most recently a TKO over Michael Boylan on October 16, 2026, at PFL Chicago.

Career

Gamid Khizriev began his professional career on November 27, 2022, at Colosseum MMA: Battle of Champions 34, submitting Timur Kharunov with an armbar in the first round. He followed up a month later with another submission, a rear-naked choke, over Evgeniy Syroevskiy at Colosseum MMA: Battle of Champions 35. In 2023 and 2024, he continued his progression through the Russian and then Kazakh circuits, with a TKO win over Evgeniy Serebryakov at AMC Fight Nights 122, then another armbar submission over Shyngys Maratov at AMC Fight Nights x Naiza Fighting Championship 61. This run of five straight wins, four of them by submission, earned him a move from the Russian and Kazakh circuits to an international promotion.

UAE Warriors Career

Khizriev then joined the Emirati promotion UAE Warriors. On September 28, 2024, he picked up his first professional decision, a majority decision over Abdullo Khodzhaev at UAE Warriors 54, in a fight that went the full three rounds. On July 23, 2025, he extended his unbeaten run by submitting Asliddin Eshankulov with a triangle choke in the third round of UAE Warriors 61, a run that opened the door to a more widely broadcast promotion.

PFL Career

Khizriev signed with the PFL (Professional Fighters League) in 2026. On July 18, he won by submission, a twister variation, in the first round over Biaggio Ali Walsh, at PFL Austin: Eblen vs Kasanganay 2, a card headlined by Johnny Eblen and Impa Kasanganay. He backed that up on October 16, 2026, by beating Michael Boylan via TKO (elbows) in the first round at PFL Chicago. That win pushed his professional record to eight wins without a loss since his 2022 debut.

Fighting Style

Gamid Khizriev’s profile is dominated by ground fighting. Five of his eight professional wins have come by submission, with a varied repertoire that includes the armbar, rear-naked choke, triangle choke, and a twister variation. His two TKO wins, by punches and elbows respectively, also show an ability to finish a fight on the feet when the chance arises, without his style straying far from a wrestling and grappling base built since his start in the Russian circuits. That steady progression, carried out without a single loss since his professional debut in late 2022, has taken him in four years from small Russian and Kazakh venues to internationally broadcast PFL cards, a rare trajectory for a fighter who spent so long out of the spotlight.
