Magomed Zaynukov is an unbeaten Dagestani lightweight out of Eagles MMA, the famed camp built by Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov that produced Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev. Unlike most of his teammates, he is a striker first — a Muay Thai-based pressure fighter who set a Contender Series record for significant strikes landed in his decision win over Lucas Caldas last October. Five of his eight wins came by knockout, and his first five pro victories were all first-round stoppages. After nearly a year of waiting since earning his contract, the 31-year-old finally makes his UFC debut in Abu Dhabi.
