Thessaloniki’s Direwolf: Robert Oganesyan’s MMA Journey
Robert Oganesyan, known in the cage as DIREWOLF, has carved out a rugged niche between the Middleweight and Welterweight ranks in European MMA. At 33 years old and standing 5’10”, Oganesyan represents UFD Gym out of Thessaloniki, Greece, where he has sharpened a 10-12-0 professional record against a variety of regional foes. His work ethic and willingness to bounce between weight classes speak to a career defined by adaptability more than conventional paths to stardom.
In the latest regional standings, Oganesyan sits at No. 626 in Europe, with sub-regional placements in the Balkans and Greece—territory he earned by competing at least twice locally in his last six fights. Though his record leans toward the underdog narrative, Oganesyan’s résumé includes bouts at both 185 pounds and 170 pounds, evidence of his readiness to chase opportunities wherever they present themselves.
