Savely Kurochkin to face Tursunbek Sodikov at MMA Series-95

Russian middleweight Savely Kurochkin will return to action Sept. 5 at MMA Series-95, where he will face promotional newcomer Tursunbek Sodikov of Uzbekistan.

The bout will take place at the International Boxing Center in Moscow’s Luzhniki complex.

Kurochkin has already earned three victories under the MMA Series banner and enters the matchup riding a two-fight finishing streak. In his most recent appearance at MMA Series-94, the Irkutsk representative stopped Azamat Dzhigkaev by first-round TKO.

The Druzhina fighter was previously named Best Debut at the 2025 MMA-TV.COM Awards. Now established as one of the promotion’s most exciting strikers, Kurochkin will look to extend his winning run and once again showcase his finishing ability.

Standing across from him will be Sodikov, a Jizzakh native who represents Sapsan Team. The matchup will mark the Uzbek middleweight’s MMA Series debut.

Sodikov, however, has already competed for notable international promotions, including NAIZA and UAE Warriors. He began his professional career in 2024 and has recorded seven fights since turning pro.
