Moris Boleyan returns to the octagon: fight against IMMAF world champion

Undefeated Armenian MMA fighter Moris Boleyan (8-0) is returning to the cage after nearly a year away from competition. His next opponent will be IMMAF world champion and Bahrain representative Magomed Idrisov (10-2). The fight is scheduled for July 24 as part of the UAE Warriors 62 event.

Boleyan, a former Fight Nights champion and ONE FC competitor, last appeared in the octagon in October 2023. He secured an impressive victory at ONE with a submission finish.

Following his win in ONE FC, Boleyan received an offer from the French ARES FC league. He signed a contract but was unable to make his debut due to visa issues.

All eight of Boleyan’s professional wins have come by stoppage — via submissions and chokes. The bout against Idrisov will be a significant challenge, as the Bahraini fighter also boasts an impressive record and comes from one of the strongest amateur MMA schools in the world.
