Loss breakdown not available.
Amiran Gogoladze is a Georgian mixed martial arts fighter, OKTAGON welterweight champion since October 2026. Nicknamed “The Sniper,” he won the organization’s vacant title by getting up from two knockdowns against Jessin Ayari.
Amiran Gogoladze was born on December 9, 1997, in Akhaltsikhe, Georgia. He began competing in amateur MMA in 2015 then turned professional in November 2016 with a triangle choke submission over Giorgi Tsamalashvili, at an international championship held in Georgia. He then went to face the Russian M-1 Challenge circuit, where he first submitted Ibragim Sagov by rear-naked choke in July 2017, then Stanislav Podolskiy by guillotine choke in February 2018, before knocking out Juho Valamaa with a single punch in November 2018, bringing his record to 8 wins and 1 loss by year’s end. In between, an unfavorable majority decision loss to Aktilek Jumabek at WEF 29 in March 2017 remains his only loss of that period.
Between 2020 and 2021, Gogoladze strung together two TKO wins at EMC, by a knee strike and punches over Jhonny Carlos then by a head kick over Pavel Kusch, before suffering a points loss to Handesson Ferreira at UAE Warriors 20 in June 2021. In 2021 and 2022, he won four straight fights at the Georgian Fight Championship, by TKO over Alireza Shariati, Murat Kemer and Marcos Silva do Nascimento. He then tried his luck at Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2022, where a slam by Darrius Flowers ended the fight in the first round, without earning him a UFC contract.
Gogoladze signed with OKTAGON. He beat Liam Etebar by unanimous decision at OKTAGON 43 in May 2023, then Lukasz Siwiec at OKTAGON 47 in October 2023 and Leandro Silva by split decision at OKTAGON 58 in June 2024. On April 11, 2026, at OKTAGON 86 in Szczecin, he knocked out Ion Surdu, a former welterweight champion of the organization, with a right hook in the first round. Originally booked against Felix Klinkhammer for the vacant title at OKTAGON 96, he ultimately faced Jessin Ayari, who stepped in after Klinkhammer withdrew injured. On October 31, 2026, at Munich’s SAP Garden, Gogoladze got up from two knockdowns to beat Ayari by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the fight the same way, and claimed the organization’s vacant welterweight belt.
Gogoladze is a power striker, with eight of his seventeen wins coming by KO or TKO, often inside a single round, as against Ion Surdu or Murat Kemer. His decision win over Jessin Ayari at OKTAGON 96, earned after absorbing two knockdowns, also shows an ability to hold up under adversity over the distance, alongside three submission wins earned early in his career.
