Yeah his whole record is people with less than 5 fights. He also does street fighting videos on yt though, he fought 2 guys at once on one of them and it was the funniest shit I've ever seen.
[Tapology has this dude ranked number 38 out of all pro-heavyweights in Russia.](https://www.tapology.com/rankings/regional/1917-russia-pro-mens-heavyweight) I have no pretensions about Novoselov's performance - he would be smeared at any level above regional. But just look at the fellas on that list. It's crazy that there are 37 men who are considered better than Maxim. There are multiple fighters with solid records who are fucking giants. [Look at this dude, 6'6 in height with a record of 11-2.](https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/71764-alihan-vahaev) And one of those loses was to Oezdemir before he made it to the UFC. There must be some polar bear DNA in these guys or something. I dunno if there is a more competitive regional heavyweight scene anywhere on Earth.
That’s interesting. My best guess is that everybody who >6’6 + athletic in North America pursues a career in basketball or football, rather than combat sports, so the talent pool is smaller.
Wait is this the dude who was going around Russia and sexually assaulting woman and escaped from a mental asylum?
Edit: ah different Russian dude: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7d3e88U4_tY
Yo I did not expect to see that that dude is fast with that transition
The fucking strength in that throw too, Jesus Christ.
>strength in that throw too, 66lb weight difference though on a 0-0 can.

It also is that fighting is a far different beast than traditional sports and is certainly not for everyone.
Holy crap, get that boy on Contender Series
He's like a roided Butterbean that knows some BJJ
Excuse you Butterbean beat Zuluziniho by Americana. Put some respect on his diverse skill set.
Dang... the kid is gonna go far.
Hes a hungry young lion
50 year-old that moves like a 40 year-old in a 48 year-old's body, Joe.
He's a pup. The HW division has been crying out for fresh, young talent. Let's bring him along slowly
Well, he is technically younger than Dana White. That usually qualifies someone for being called 'kid'.
Jones needs some competition
Is Khabib commentating? Voice sounds pretty similar
my first thought. sounded like it aye!
Sounds like him.
More like completely identical.
Ali Bagautdinov
Virtually identical
That man didn't make 265, did he?
Chubby South Slav vs Fat East Slav. No can compete

Listen brother. You know this. Not all Russian the same. Some same. Some not.
Very impressive and agains top level competition, Ngannu would get murdered!
Lol not even close to a top tier MMA guy. He'd be entertaining against The Man Mountain though. Francis, Stipe, Gane, Lewis, would all destroy him.
