Viral BRAVE CF KO Leads to Mistaken Identity; Fighter Confirmed as Murad Guseinov

A 32-second finish at BRAVE CF 101 triggered false claims of a family link to Khamzat Chimaev that subsequent reports corrected.

Overview

  • Murad Guseinov stopped Ali Hussein Nedal in 32 seconds at BRAVE CF 101, dropping him with a right hand and sealing the win with a follow-up punch in a 175-pound catchweight bout.
  • BRAVE Combat Federation’s official account shared the highlight, which circulated widely after a broadcaster labeled the winner as “Glenn Chimaev.”
  • Sports commentator Ben Davis incorrectly claimed the fighter was Khamzat Chimaev’s brother and listed his record as 7-0, a claim later disproven.
  • UFC middleweight contender Ikram Aliskerov clarified on X that the winner is his teammate Murad Guseinov and stated Guseinov is 10-0.
  • Fact-checks from EssentiallySports and coverage from Bloody Elbow identified the athlete as Dagestan-born Murad Guseinov with no relation to Khamzat Chimaev, whose own career began at BRAVE CF.
