Early life
Zavurov attended high school in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, where he began training in freestyle wrestling under Mairbek Yusupov (member of the 1977-78 USSR team who went on to coach Dagestan’s freestyle wrestling team).[2] Post-school, he studied at the Dagestan State Pedagogical University, graduating from the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports and also studied Law at the Dagestan Institute of Finance and Law.[2] He continued working on his martial arts training, taking up Combat Sambo, and also started a family – he is married with two sons and a daughter.[2] He likes to employ the techniques Georges St-Pierre, whom he is a fan of. Zavurov is undefeated in combat sambo (153-0)
Mixed martial arts career
Shamil Zavurov has achieved a great deal of success in combat sports. In addition to more than 50 victories in amateur and semi-professional MMA, he has triumphed more than 50 times in Combat Sambo bouts, in the process winning three world championships[4] (2004, 2005, and 2007).[2] He has also won international tournaments in Wushu Sanda[4] (2003)[2] and wrestling and was the 2002 Dagestani champion in Wushu Sanda in the youth division.[2] In 2005 and 2007, he won Russian national championships[2] and was twice the CIS champion in hand-to-hand combat.[4]
The hardest fight in Zavurov's career was his unanimous decision victory over Seydina Seck[6] in which his arm was broken and he sustained torn ligaments – these injuries still cause him pain.[2] Zavurov still wonders about the only defeat of his career, a split decision loss to Rashid Magomedov,[7] which was controversial in that commentators and viewers disagreed with the judges' decision. It was Zavurov's first fight in more than a year, his return after a serious injury he sustained after being drafted into the army.[2]
In fighting in the Eastern European M-1 Welterweight tournament, Zavurov defeated Radik Iboyan[8] with a second round technical knockout and won a hard-fought semi-final against Ramazan Abdulzhalilov[9] that went the full distance.[10] In the tournament final,[11] Zavurov defeated Magomedrasul Khasbulaev[12] with a "text-book rear-naked-choke submission."[13] Since winning the tournament, Zavurov has compiled four further victories in a single three-week period,[3] against Vladimir Katyihin,[14] Vasily Novikov,[15] Vener Galiev,[16] and Jaroslav Poborsky.[17]
M-1 Global
Shamil Zavurov was expecting to face Tom "Da Tank" Gallicchio,[18] the Americas selection champion, for the title[10] but Gallicchio was removed following "an infringement of contractual obligations".[19] Gallicchio was replaced by Abner Lloveras, the Western European M-1 Global tournament victor.[19] Zavurov defeated Lloveras via fourth round TKO to become the inaugural M-1 Global Welterweight Champion.
In the event’s second championship bout, Russian Shamil Zavurov edged 2010 World Victory Road welterweight grand prix runner-up Yasubey Enomoto in a five-round affair.[20]
Zavurov was scheduled to rematch his lone defeat as he was to defend his title against Rashid Magomedov at M-1 Challenge XXX on December 9, 2011.[21] The match, however, has been postponed and Zavurov instead faced Yasubey Enomoto in a rematch. He lost the back-and-forth battle via submission in the fifth round.
Zavurov faced Alexander Yakovlev on March 16, 2012 at M-1 Challenge 31, with the fight ending in a draw (judges scorecards: 29–28 Zavurov, 28–28, 28–28)
Bellator Fighting Championships
Zavurov signed with Bellator MMA and was reported to take part in Bellator MMA: Season Eight.[22] However, for reasons unexplained, did not take part in any event of the season.
