[edit] Mixed martial arts career
[edit] Early career
Nedkov made his professional MMA debut in relative obscurity in 2006 and amassed an undefeated record of 7-0 in his native Bulgaria.
Following a year away from the sport, Nedkov was signed to a contract with the Japanese promotion World Victory Road.
[edit] Ultimate Fighting Championship
In June 2010, it was announced Nedkov had signed a contract with the UFC. Nedkov was expected to make his UFC debut against Rodney Wallace on August 7, 2010 at UFC 117,[1] but Nedkov was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by Phil Davis[2]
Nedkov was expected to face Steve Cantwell on October 16, 2010 at UFC 120.[3] However, less than 48 hours before the event, Cantwell was forced off the card after suffering a knee injury during a pre-fight training session. With no time to find a suitable opponent for Nedkov, the bout was cancelled.[4]
Nedkov eventually made his UFC debut against Luiz Cane at UFC 134. Nedkov won the fight via TKO (punches) in the first round.
