Albert Tumenov. Fight style and success story

In the UFC (the leading promotion of mixed martial arts) come fighters from different countries. Some of them achieve success and love of the public. Albert Tumenov was not an exception, which fans called Einstein. The young fighter impresses the audience with a bright style, the desire to fight in the rack and finish it ahead of schedule. Now Albert is fighting outside the UFC. As of the summer of 2017, he is the champion of the organization ACB. By nationality Albert Tumenov - Kabardino-Balkar.

Carier start

As a child, the future fighter practiced kyokushinkai karate and achieved considerable success in it. Albert Tumenov won several junior tournaments and got a degree of 6 kyu, which corresponds to the yellow belt.

Then Albert enrolled in the section of army hand-to-hand combat - a more rigid and "realistic" single combat. The results were also impressive: a victory at the 15th Russian Championship, participation in the youth team of Kabardino-Balkaria and much more. Throughout his career Tumenov tried himself in boxing and in combat sambo, but he made his final choice in favor of mixed martial arts. As it turned out, not in vain.

Features of style

Kabardino-Balkar is a bright "drummer," who instead of fighting prefers to defend himself against transfers to the ground. Striking power helps him knock out rivals in the early rounds. He prefers punches, but can use his legs.

The main problem of style is weakness against really strong fighters. Being transferred to the ground, Albert is very uncomfortable and can not seriously resist.

Careers at UFC

The first battle in the leading promotion was lost by the Russian. The opponent was the Brazilian Ildemar Alcantara. Tumenov's opponent chose the right tactics. He used the style of "Ground and Pound", repeatedly transferring Tumenov to the stalls and striking punches and elbows. Already in the first round, this led to the appearance of a dissection on the face of Albert Tumenov.

In the second round, Alcantara chose an even safer manner - he felled the opponent on the floor and held him there. The battle was relatively boring. As a result of the referee gave the victory to the Brazilian.

In the UFC, the rule is that according to which the newcomers who lost two fights leave the organization. Rehabilitation was necessary, and Tumenov was able to achieve his goal.
The second duel was appointed against the American Anthony Lapsley. The 34-year-old has conducted a large number of fights in various promotions, but the UFC has not achieved much success.

Einstein was preparing to fight in the US, in the club K-Dojo. The main goal of the training was the development of protection against transfers to the ground floor. The tactics turned out to be correct. First, the soldiers carefully moved around the octagon, trying to provoke each other to attack. The first attacked an American, who tried to conduct a takedown. Did not work out. A more dimensional Russian successfully suppressed the opponent's attacks and moved much faster. At one point, Einstein caught an American foot and twice hit him in the head. The enemy fell to the floor, and it was evident that his fighting spirit had significantly decreased.

The knockout happened at the end of the first round. Left hook Tumenova overtook the opponent. I did not even need finishing.

Second defeat in the UFC

After defeating Anthony Lapsley, Tumenov won four more times, including a fairly strong Alan Zhuban and Lorenz Larkin. It's time to move to the "big league" and fight with the best of the best. As the next opponent was selected Gunnar Nelson, an experienced Icelandic wrestler. Almost all of his victories Nelson won the surrender of the enemy.

Fight showed that Albert Tumenov is not ready for battles with excellent fighters yet. The Russian tried to knock Icelander, but he quietly suppressed attempts and without any problems performed translations to the ground. The battle ended in the second round - the Kabardino-Balkar lost by strangulation from behind.

After that there was a battle with Leon Edwards, which took place approximately in the same scenario. The rival again went into a comfortable position and strangled behind. The second defeat in a row led to the dismissal of Tumenov from the UFC and the transition to the Russian promotion ACB. There he won by knockout over Ismael de Jizus.

Albert Tumenov: rating

Despite two defeats, the Russian fighter remains at a fairly high level. Its main drawback is the relative weakness of experienced wrestlers. Especially good are spectacular knockouts, which pleases the audience Albert Tumenov. Photos of the best moments certainly diverge in the hundreds of resources associated with martial arts. Perhaps in the future the Russian will return to the UFC or make a bright career in the ACB.
