Amagov drew considerable attention in 2010 when a video of his spinning hook kick knockout of Maskhat Akhmetov became popular on several MMA message boards and news sites.
In the summer of 2011, Adlan Amagov signed with Zuffa and made his U.S. debut at Strikeforce Challengers: Bowling vs. Voelker III against Ron Stallings.
He faced former EliteXC Middleweight Champion Robbie Lawler in the co-main event[6] and lost the fight via TKO (flying knee and punches) early in the first round.
[10] Amagov made his promotional and Welterweight debut against fellow newcomer and former Strikeforce veteran Chris Spång on 6 April 2013 at UFC on Fuel TV 9.
[16] After more than a year of absence from the sport, BloodyElbow editor Karim Zidan stated that Amagov had "no interest" in returning to MMA, and that he wants to "watch his kids grow up and is tired of cutting weight".
