Nikita Krylov Wiki/Bio

On March 7, 1992, Nikita Krylov was born in Krasnyi Luch, Luhansk, Ukraine. He started his training in Kyokushin Karate when he was ten years old, following in the footsteps of his father, who was a successful participant in the sport. In the year 2012, Krylov made the crossover to mixed martial arts.

At his first fight, which took place on July 27, 2012, at West Fight 4 in Donetsk, Ukraine, Krylov defeated Alexander Umrikhin through a technical knockout. In the subsequent five months, he won an additional eleven fights-ten via submission and one via technical knockout-before losing via submission to Vladimir Mishchenko at Oplot Challenge 22 on December 29.

After two wins in a Gladiators Fighting Challenge tournament in Donetsk on January 19, 2013, Nikita rematched Mishchenko on March 8 at Oplot Challenge 40; an arm-triangle choke again submitted him. One month later, he won the fight against Gabriel Tampu via technical knockout at M-1 Challenge 38 in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Krylov, with a record of 15–2, was signed by the UFC and made his debut on the same night as Soa Palelei at UFC 164. He fought Walt Harris in the opening battle of UFC on Fox 7 on January 25, 2014, marking his comeback to the sport.

Following the victory, Nikita expressed his interest in competing in the light heavyweight division for his subsequent match. On March 15, 2015, at UFC 171, he competed against Ovince Saint Preux in his maiden fight in the light heavyweight division after replacing Thiago Silva.

The fight between Krylov and Cody Donovan took place on July 19, 2014, at UFC Fight Night 46. In the dying seconds of the first round, he knocked out his opponent for a technical knockout victory. His subsequent bout, which took place at UFC on Fox 14 on January 24, 2015, was against Stanislav Nedkov. Some speculation was that Krylov would square off against Marcos Rogério de Lima on June 20, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 69.

Nikita and Jimi Manuwa were rumoured to take place at UFC Fight Night 84 on February 27, 2016, but it was ultimately scrapped.

He explained his departure from the organization later, stating that he had decided not to re-sign his contract. Krylov said that he enjoyed competing in other places to improve his talents and to be able to fight in locations that were more convenient to his home in Ukraine.

After competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Nikita signed a multi-fight contract with the promotion of Eurasia Fight Nights (EFN)/Fight Nights Global. On June 2, 2017, he was scheduled to make his promotional debut against Emanuel Newton, who had previously held the title of Bellator Light heavyweight Champion.

After that, Krylov competed against Maro Perak on August 26, 2017, for the Donbas Association of Combat Sports promotion. This fight was his first bout outside of his current promotion. Nikita knocked out his opponent with a technical knockout at the beginning of the second round.

Back in Fight Nights Global, the fight between Nikita and Emanuel Newton, the former light heavyweight champion of Bellator, was rescheduled to take place on October 13, 2017, at Fight Nights Global 77. He knocked out his opponent with a knee strike 43 seconds into the first round, earning him the victory.
