Keep an eye on Rinat Fakhretdinov tonight (Dagestani Voldemort)

[big franklin]

Dubbed by fans as 'The Dagestani Voldemort' due to his frightening power and close resemblance to the Harry Potter villain, Rinat Fakhretdinov (21-2), will be fighting tonight against Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (24-7).

Rinat has exceptional striking and grappling skills, and could potentially be a top 5 WW in a couple years time. He's 32, so not exactly a young buck, but he does seem promising. If he gets a finish tonight, I will be officially be boarding his hype train.

Just a reminder that in his last bout The Dagestani Voldemort retired Kevin 'Motown Phenomonen' Lee (in less than a minute).

He is not from Saransk. As far as I remember he is from some small village populated by ethnic Tatars.

He is ethnic Tatar, just not from Tatarstan. Like Topuria is ethnic Georgian who was born in Germany or Tsarukyan ethnic Armenian from Georgia or Siver ethnic German from Russia.

TS' shtick seems to be that anyone who is roughly from Central Asia/Causasus , or even from around Volga, like here, is Dagestani.

Doesn't matter if he's Tajik or Armenian. XD

 

[Coolkid666]

Yall mfs really arguing where he's from. Tatar is a sauce that goes on fish sandwich duhhhhhh

 

[blaseblase]

First it was Vampire Khabib, now its Dagestani Voldemort. Is this proof @big franklin is paid by Russia?

Aren't Tatars from Tatarstan to Mongolia?
He considers that he represents Tatar nation
