Background

Tagir Ulanbekov was born to an Avar family on July 8, 1991, in the village of Dylym in the Kazbekovsky District of the Republic of Dagestan.[9][10]

As a child, Ulanbekov began wrestling after his uncle took him to a wrestling section named after Saypulla Absaidov.[9][11] When Ulanbekov was 8 years old, he moved to Makhachkala, Dagestan.[9] In Makhachkala, he joined the ranks of Eagles MMA and was coached by Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.[9] There, he trained alongside fighters such as Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.

Ulanbekov would face defeat for the first time in his career against fellow future UFC fighter Zhalgas Zhumagulov at Fight Nights Global 88, losing the close bout by majority decision.[14][15] He would then compete under the banner of Gorilla Fighting Championship (Now Eagle FC), where he went 3-0 and captured the GF Flyweight Championship.[16]

Ulanbekov was scheduled to face Tyson Nam on June 19, 2021, at UFC on ESPN 25.[24] However, the bout was never officially announced by the promotion and the matchup did not take place on the card due to an undisclosed illness for Ulanbekov.[25]
