This win reaffirms Baibatyrov’s presence on the radar, especially after his past bout against Paul Dena. But it also raises important questions:
Can Baibatyrov handle more experienced and technically versatile opponents?
A European Platform to Watch
With AEC MMA gaining traction as a serious platform in Europe, fighters like Baibatyrov could become breakout stars. Armed with solid physique, experience, and aggressive style, he might just be on a trajectory toward top-tier organizations like UFC or Bellator.
But consistency and increasingly tougher competition will determine whether this is a spark or the beginning of a blazing career.
