Alexander Matmuratov Russia’s #4 Eurasia Lightweight
Alexander Matmuratov, a 35-year-old from Novokuznetsk, Russia, has built a 17-7-0 professional record over more than a decade in mixed martial arts. Standing 5'8" (172 cm) and competing at lightweight, he has logged six fights in his most recent stretch, with at least two appearances in Russia’s regional circuit. That consistency of activity is the foundation of his current standing.
Matmuratov occupies the No. 4 slot in the Eurasia lightweight rankings and holds the same position within the Russian sub-region. Those rankings reflect the requirement that a fighter must have competed at least twice in a region over his last six bouts—an indication of Matmuratov’s commitment to the local scene even as he eyes wider horizons.
Now approaching the back half of his thirties, Matmuratov combines veteran poise with a willingness to mix it up in one of the sport’s most crowded weight classes. With a top-five berth in hand, he’s poised to test his mettle beyond familiar territory and chase the next tier of competition.
