Zhumabek Tursyn (Kazakh: Жұмабек Тұрсын) is a Kazakhstani mixed martial arts fighter and trainer. He currently fights as a Bantamweight.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Zhumabek is an ethnic Kazakh from the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang.[3]

Zhumabek trains out of China's elite Xian Physical Education University, where he is a pupil of Zhao Xuejun.[4] Jumabieke is a well-rounded fighter who combines pinpoint Sanda striking with freestyle Wrestling. Jumabieke is also associated with Phuket Top Team, Thailand.

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Zhumabek fought on the Chinese regional scene before joining Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation (RUFF China) in 2011. He had a KO win over Bolin Li at RUFF 1 and a unanimous decision victory over Yanfei Zhao at RUFF 2.

Zhumabek rematched and defeated Honggang Yao via unanimous decision (3 rounds) at Legend Fighting Championship 7 for the bantamweight strap. He then returned to RUFF [5] garnering a shot at the bantamweight strap against Irshaad Sayed,[6] but the fight was cancelled due to UFC interest in Jumabieke.[7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

[edit]

The UFC signing Zhumabek was widely reported in early 2013,[8] however Zhumabek had to wait over a year to debut for the promotion. During the hiatus Jumabieke stated his professional mixed martial arts record was not an accurate, even claiming he fought three times in December 2013.[9]

With an official MMA record of 15-0 Zhumabek was scheduled to fight Mark Eddiva at The Ultimate Fighter: China Finale in a featherweight fight. Eddiva controlled Zhumabek en route to a unanimous decision.[10]

Zhumabek returned to the Octagon at The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale against Leandro Issa. In a Fight of the Night battle, Issa caught Zhumabek in an armbar in the third round.[11][12]

Zhumabek was scheduled to meet Patrick Williams but due to injury he instead fought Marcus Brimage on November 8, 2014 at UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping, in Sydney Australia.[13] He was defeated via first-round knockout due to a head kick and follow up punches and was subsequently released from the promotion.[14]

Post UFC

[edit]

Starting from November 21, 2015, the fighter made a return to the Featherweight division, marking a significant point in his career with a majority draw against Alison Santos Marques at the WBK 8: Return of the King event in Yining, China. After that, he demonstrated impressive form by securing back-to-back unanimous decision victories in the following year, first against Marques in a rematch in March, and later against Giovanni Moljo in June, even clinching the vacant WBK Featherweight Championship.

However, his momentum was broken when he faced a defeat at the hands of Soo Chul Kim in July 2016, losing by TKO in the Road FC 032 event. Despite this setback, he showed resilience by quickly bouncing back with a pair of knockout victories. He first defeated Paata Robakidze with a body kick in December 2016, then Alison Santos Marques, this time with punches, in June 2017.

His journey took another twist when he fell short against Aliyar Sarkerov in July 2017, in a fight for the vacant KLF Featherweight Championship. Undeterred, he came back with a TKO win over Sergey Yakovlev just a month later. However, this victory was short-lived, as he then went through a challenging period, suffering a series of losses against Boris Fedorov, Andre Harrison, Lance Palmer, and Alexandre Almeida from May 2018 to October 2018.

After a year-long hiatus, he returned to the ring only to face a unanimous decision loss to Rasul Tezekbaev in June 2021. Nonetheless, 2022 marked a turning point. The fighter made a successful comeback by making his Lightweight debut, defeating Hasan Mammedov with a rear-naked choke in July. He then capped off the year with a knockout win against Yaser Ashayeri in December
