They call Artur Minev the “Headhunter,” and after watching the Massachusetts-based Ukrainian in action, it’s easy to see why.
Miniev’s Fury FC debut was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it affair as he faced off with Cristobal Ibanez at Fury FC 98 last November.
His maiden appearance inside the Fury FC cage may have been brief, but it showed exactly what Minev is all about. He stuffed a takedown attempt, backed his opponent towards the fence, then unleashed a huge right hand that knocked out Ibanez instantly.
With a quickfire highlight-reel finish in the bank, Minev was booked to face 4-1 welterweight prospect Shane Keefe in a 160-pound catchweight contest at Fury FC 103.
