Former WBC Youth champion Myshev: “Akhmedov did not leave Cavaleiro a single chance and delighted the audience”

Former WBC Youth champion, now manager Vladimir Myshev told Match TV that the victory of the Russian MMA fighter Omari Akhmedov over the Brazilian Rodrigo Cavaleiro at the URAL FC x OZON tournament in Kaspiysk was as confident as possible.

In Friday’s fight, which took place in the middle weight category, Akhmedov defeated Cavaleiro by technical knockout in the second round.

— Omari Akhmedov did not leave a single chance for his opponent, delighting the local audience. By the way, a fight between Akhmedov and Valery Myasnikov was discussed for this tournament, but, unfortunately, due to certain circumstances it did not work out.

Valery is now in recovery, and, most likely, will compete in 2026, but the Akhmedov-Myasnikov sign seems to have become even more relevant after Akhmedov’s performance today,” Myshev, who was present at the tournament in Kaspiysk, told Match TV.

Akhmedov fought for the first time since November 2022. The statistics of the 38-year-old Russian in MMA: 25 victories, eight defeats and one draw. From the fall of 2013 to the summer of 2021, Akhmedov competed in the UFC, where he scored nine wins, five losses and one draw. The 42-year-old Cavaleiro has 27 wins and 11 losses in MMA.
