Last seen getting choked out by Kevin Lee back in 2016
As I recall, he's badly badly injured.
Also he blames Kevin Lee for using steroids. Claims it to be a reason he lost.

His VK (Russian social media) account has a recent interview where he says he wants Kevin Lee in a rematch.
https://vk.com/club98625543
My translation below:
*interviewer asks about the Kevin Lee fight and fighting with injury (broken arm)*
MM: If it wasn't for the injury I think the fight would not end in a sub. I think it would go to a decision. In the 2nd round I figured him out and started hitting the target. But then my arm got swollen and I could not defend the choke.
*interviewer asks how the arm is*
MM: The arm is fine, there are pains sometimes but I can train normally. A few months ago I went to Sochi for a training camp but something cracked in my knee on the 2nd day and my plans changed. Now everything is fine and I train fully. Everything is good.
*interviewer asks when he can return to the UFC*
MM: I plan to come back at the end of July or August.
*interviewer asks about his weight*
MM: 84-85 kg (184-187 lbs)
*interviewer asks about moving to a lower weight*
MM: I thought about it and spoke to my manager at ATT. But I feel good at lighweight and I've never cut so much so I don't know how I'd feel. That's why the return fight I wanna do at 70 kg (LW). And we'll see what later.
*interviewer asks who he wants to face*
MM: I didn't think about it, I just want to come back and win but of course I want a Kevin Lee rematch but I doubt I will get him now... so generally I don't care who to fight, the most important is to come back now.
*interviewer asks if he wants to prepare overseas (in the US)*
MM: If they offer me a fight in the US I will go there for a month, no longer. If the fight is anywhere in Europe I will prepare in Russia. If in america then in ATT.
*interviewer asks which of his fights he recalls most often*
MM: I think it was the last fight, because of the broken arm. I often rewatch that fight, I had a real good chance to win it but then the injury came so of course this is the fight I will remember long.
*interviewer asks how much he got for his 1st ever pro fight*
MM: I was fighting in Sochi and I had 4 bouts (in a row) and the pay was 10k RUB (161 USD).
*interviewer says it's not bad since some people get 5k RUB LOL
*
*interviewer mentions that Russia has 2 best orgs - ACB and FN; asks which one he likes better*
MM: ACB and FN both have started making solid bouts but I like ACB better because they have cards in Europe and want it done worldwide. And they don't have any unnecessary stuff, just fights. No show. ACB has risen well.
*interviewer asks about his English*
MM: I learned and now I did courses but I would say that it's weak so far. I have to learn of course. With age you have less time for it but I am trying.
*interviewer asks about USADA*
MM: USADA visited me 6 times, 2 times in Russia and 4 in US. After last fight - twice.
*interviewer asks about trash talk*
MM: If you are not insulting anyone, to promote the fight is can be done but you have to know limits. It's not my thing. Those who do it well should not insult people. Nothing bad in it, just don't insult others.
*interviewer mentions Colby*
MM: Yeah, there are such guys, like Conor too... Trash talk is good when you do it and it works well but if you talk a lot and lose it will lead nowhere.
*interviewer asks who he follows in MMA*
MM: No one particular, I follow all fighters in Russia, ones who I know. I have many friends and I support them.
*interviewer mentions he reportedly went to the Lee fight without a gameplan, does this happen often?*
MM: No, I always have to have a game plan. Guys at ATT told me that they'd have a good gameplan for me a month in advance but they were busy with other fighters and did not prepare me strictly for a wrestler like Kevin Lee. They prepared me well for boxing but not for wrestling. If I came here to Dagestan I would prepare better for him.
*interviewer mentions that MM was offered Mairbek Taisumov; Taisumov declined despite pressure from his manager*
MM: I did not experience such pressure. My manager was also against this fight, so was I. Mairbek is my bro, we both represent Berkut fight club, we have the same goals and I think that I would never fight Mairbek. He is a real man, I wish that he reaches great heights (success).
*interviewer asks about what he wants to do after retiring*
MM: I thought about it, I want to open my own club in Sochi and be a coach.
*interviewer asks for a message to his fans*
MM: I'd like to thank them for following, supporting, writing in Instagram, VK. I can't answer all, I don't have enough time but thanks to all.

I should have probably said 'weird looking' instead. He isn't exceptionally hairy, but exceptionally weirdlooking.
Where do you start? The basin haircut, the unibrow, the general hirsuteness! Pure Almas, that lad. The Caucasian yeti/bigfoot.
