Alexander Romanov was defeated by Tybura in his latest fight. Tybura won 11 of his pro fights (eight of which were wins). Tybura is a skilled fighter. Seven of his 23 victories were by technical knockout. He prefers to bully his opponent for the entire 15 minutes, rather than aiming for a win in the first round. Tybura is a grinder and lands many significant strikes per minute. Tybura often tries to knock down his opponent. Although he is now always successful (32% accuracy in TDs), he still manages to make 1.42 TDs per fight.
All UFC fighters can be tough, but Blagoy Ivanov stands out. Even when faced with a stronger opponent, the Bulgarian fighter does not stop fighting. He is a former champion in PFL and WSOF, but he has decent stamina as a heavyweight. He’s extremely difficult to beat at the distance. This is evident in the fact that he has not lost a fight within the UFC’s distance since joining them. Ivanov actually has one loss prior to the bell. Alexander Volkov beat him in submission at Bellator 120. Ivanov suffered a severe lung puncture in 2012 after a knife attack. He was in critical condition for nearly a month after being attacked by a knife. Doctors spent six hours trying to save his life. Although he barely survived, he didn’t give up on his MMA dreams. He returned to the ring in 2013, winning his return fight by submission. He won eight more fights in different promotions, while losing one. This is what put him on the radar for UFC promoters.
