Albert Duraev is a veteran of the M1-Global promotion as well as the ACB or Absolute Championship Berkut. Duraev faced stellar competition under both promotional banners.
Duraev finally got his shot at the ‘big leagues’ in the form of an appearance on the 2021 season of Contender Series. And Albert Duraev did not disappoint, finishing his opponent, Caio Bittencourt with a neck crank in the very first round. For UFC 267, Albert’s UFC debut, fans should be on the lookout for his heavy, smoothering wrestling, explosiveness and his very dangerous opening seven minutes of the fight.
