Timur Shamilovich Khizriev (Russian: Тимур Шамилович Хизриев; born November 19, 1995) is a Russian professional mixed martial artist and Sanda artist who currently competes in the Featherweight division of the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He previously fought at major MMA promotions like Bellator MMA, Fight Nights Global, Eagle Fighting Championship and Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB). Timur won the redoubtable ACB's Featherweight Grand Prix, defeating his Kavkaz compatriot of Circassian origin, Bibert "Headhunter" Tumenov for the title, in March 22, 2019.

On August 25, 2024, Timur was ranked #16 in World Featherweight rankings according to the Fight Matrix website.

Background

Timur was born in November 19, 1995 to a Dargin family in the state capital city of Makhachkala, Dagestan, Russia. Timur Khizriev or "Imam" as he is colloquially known, began his martial arts journey via freestyle wrestling at the age of nine years under the guidance of late coach Konstantin Kamilovich at Wrestling club in Makhachkala. Under Konstantin Kamilovich coaching, than undersized Timur, who weighed 64 kg back than, snagged gold in freestyle wrestling at Dagestan Championship in 71 kg weight category.

Timur than began to combine his freestyle wrestling pursuit with Wushu Sanda. At Wushu Sanda he came under the tutelage of First ever USSR Karate Champion (1981) and Champion of Russia in Wushu-Sanda, Rasul Dzhalakovich Chotanov who acted as his (Timur) first ever coach in striking art. Chotanov played fundamental role in establishing the foundation for Timur's striking technique.

Rasul Dzhalakovich Chotanov himself learned Karate and Wushu Sanda from venerable Martial Arts coach Gusein Magomaev, founder of Five Directions of the World and sensei of notable combat athletes such as Zabit 'ZaBeast' Magomedsharipov, Muslim 'King of Kung Fu' Salikhov, and Magomed 'Tiger' Magomedov

Timur was juggling his priorities between freestyle wrestling and Wushu Sanda, he eventually decided to fully commit on his wrestling career alone. This did not last long, as Timur finally decided to devote himself to the world of MMA fully, as a teenager (18 years old).

Timur first joined page-oner MMA gym DagFighter, after winning silver medal at amateur MMA championship held in his native state of Dagestan. His first coach at DagFighter gym was Jamal Magomedov. Eventually, he was trained in the combat sports of MMA by DagFighter head coach Mansur Uchakaev.

Mansur Uchakaev himself was a World Champion in Combat Sambo, who was trained in the sports (combat sambo) by Khabib's father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. Masur is the younger brother of late Muslim Ibragimovich Uchakaev. Muslim Uchakaev himself was decorated combat sportsman, as he was world champion in combat sambo and Eurasian champion in Army Hand-to-Hand Combat. Like his younger brother Mansur, Muslim Uchakaev was also student of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

This positions Timur among the combat athletes who have a notable indirect connection to resplendent martial art coaches like Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov and Gusein Magomaev.

He also has a younger brother Gamid Shamilovich Khizriev (born May 16, 2022) who has fought in MMA promotion, Fight Nights Global (FNG) of Russia. Gamid who himself is team member of DagFighter has earned two bronze medals in Soyuz MMA (2020 at lightweight; 2022 at welterweight) and one gold at Moscow Pankration Tournament.

Before joining ATT, Timur was initially part of paramount gym Jackon Wink MMA Academy, where he had the opportunity to train with MMA veterans like Jon "Bones" Jones there. Before Khizriev debut for Bellator, he also trained at page-oner MMA gym, Kill Cliff FC under the leadership of Henri Hooft.
