Moreover, Uguev would win by technical-superiority 10-0 and claim his first Yarygin title,[6] as well as a spot on the Russian team heading to the European Championships in Serbia.

In the final match, he defeated former opponent Artem Grebekov by a score of 3–1, which gave him the opportunity to compete at the 2017 Paris World Championships.

Uguev beat Mongolia's Tumentsogt Bold, Yakutian Donduk-ool Kuresh-ool and American representative, Frank Perrelli, which would give him way into the finals, opposing stand-out Ossetian, Azamat Tuskaev.

With his second Yarygin title, Uguev was again given the opportunity to compete at the 2018 European Championships; although, this time he would face a lot of pressure in his home republic, taking place in Kaspiysk, Dagestan, Russia.

After winning the first two matches by technical-superiority,[15] Uguev would suffer an upset loss against Azerbaijani representative Mahir Amiraslanov, by the score 3–2.

To finish the match, Uguev would get two-points from a trapped-arm turn for exposure, resulting in a dominating 13-3 technical fall - successfully defending his world title.

Uguev would win three of his matches, all by technical-superiority; defeating Yakutia's Petr Konstantinov and Aleksey Kopylov, then Muslim Sadulaev- which would give him a spot in the final.

Uguev first stormed through Moldova's Buruian, and Andreyeu of Belarus, before winning 9–0 over Myrzanazar Uluu from Kyrgyzstan, paving his way into the semi-final match.

To start his run, Uguev would win by technical superiority over his first two opponents: Umar Khachukaev or the Rostov Oblast, and Abubakar Mutaliev of Dagestan- both by the score: 10–0.
