Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Vyacheslav Vasilevsky[2] is a Russian professional mixed martial artist and sambo competitor. He has competed in professional MMA since 2008. He was the inaugural M-1 Global Light Heavyweight World Champion and also fought for Bellator MMA and Absolute Championship Akhmat. Vasilevsky is a multi-time world champion and Master of Sport in combat sambo.[3][4]

Competitive career

Vasilevsky was born and raised in the Siberian closed town of Zelenogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai. He began training in judo at age nine, ultimately becoming the junior judo champion of Krasnoyarsk Krai, a national youth judo championship medalist, and the judo champion of Siberia as an adult.[1] By age 19, he was training in boxing and combat sambo, and his success in combat sambo led to invitations to compete in MMA.

Vasilevsky made his debut with a first-round submission victory over Ladislav Zak via rear naked choke.[6]

His next fight was against Daniel Tabera which he lost by unanimous decision.[7]

M-1 Global

Vasilevsky's road to the 2010 M-1 Global Light Heavyweight Championship started with a split decision victory over Sergey Guzev.[8][9] Two other bouts in the selection – against Xavier Foupa-Pokam[10] and Shamil Tinagadjiev[11] went into the third round,[2] though he also achieved a first-round victory over Alihan Magomedov.[12] By contrast, none of Tomasz Narkun's professional fights had gone beyond the first round.[13]

Vyacheslav Vasilevsky defeated Tomasz Narkun via second-round TKO at M-1 Challenge XXII to become the inaugural M-1 Global Light Heavyweight Champion. However, after the fight, Vasilevsky moved down to middleweight.[2]

Bellator MMA

Vasilevsky signed with Bellator after a successful career in Russia where he compiled a 15-1 record.

Vyacheslav faced Victor O'Donnell on March 16 at Bellator LXI in a middleweight tournament bout.[14] He won the fight via unanimous decision to advance to the semifinal round.[2]

In the semifinal round, Vyacheslav faced Maiquel Falcão on April 20 at Bellator LXVI.[15] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[2]

Vasilevsky was expected to face Doug Marshall in the Bellator Season Eight Middleweight tournament before being replaced by Andreas Spang.[16]

Return to M-1 Global

Vasilevsky defeated Charles Andrade on May 23, 2013 at M-1 Challenge 39.[17] He won via unanimous decision. Vasilevsky then faced Vitor Nobrega on October 20, 2013 at M-1 Challenge 42.[18] He won by TKO via punches in the first round.[19]

He then faced Ramazan Emeev for M-1 Challenge Middleweight Championship at M-1 Challenge 51 on September 7, 2014.[20] Vasilevsky won the fight via TKO in the fourth round.[21]

Vasilevsky faced former Bellator MMA Middleweight Champion Alexander Shlemenko on February 19, 2016 at M-1 Challenge 68.[22] He lost this fight via split decision.

Vasilevsky returned to M-1 four months later to replace the injured Ramazan Emeev against Alexander Shlemenko in a rematch on June 16, 2016 at M-1 Challenge 64. Shlemenko won the fight via guillotine choke in the third round.

Absolute Championship Berkut

In September 2016, Vasilevsky signed with the ACB.[23] He was expected to face Albert Duraev on April 15, 2017 at the ACB 57: Payback for the vacant middleweight title. However, Duraev pulled out of the fight on 7 April and was replaced by Ibragim Chuzhigaev.

Vasilevsky faced Will Noland on July 22, 2017 at ACB 65: Silva vs. Agnaev. He won the fight via submission in the first round.
