Shayilan Nuerdanbieke (born May 4, 1994 Kazakh: Сайран Нұрданбек, romanized: Sayran Nurdanbek[3]) is a Chinese mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Sayran comes from the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, which is located in northern Xinjiang, straddling the borders of Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia. He belongs to the Kazakh minority, training wrestling for 6 years and winning the 66KG Classical Wrestling Championship in Xinjiang and participated in many national competitions. After seeing Conor McGregor on television, he was inspired to try his hand in MMA.[4][5]

He spends his free time practicing the dombra, a traditional stringed Kazakh musical instrument.[6]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Starting his professional career in 2016, Sayran compiled a 37–9 record fighting on the Chinese regional scene.[7]

Nuerdanbieke faced Darrick Minner on November 5, 2022 at UFC Fight Night 214.[14] He won the fight via technical knockout in the first round.[15] The fight was later part of a controversy when Minner and his coach James Krause were suspended by UFC when suspicious betting patterns emerged.[16][17]

Nuerdanbieke faced Steve Garcia on April 8, 2023, at UFC 287.[18] Despite knocking down Garcia, Nuerdanbieke lost the fight via TKO in the second round via body kick and then ground and pound.[19]
