BACKSTORY
Mikhail Orlov is calm, analytical, and eerily composed inside the cage. Rarely emotional and rarely loud, they prefer to let their performances do the talking. Known among teammates for being one of the hardest workers in the gym, he studies opponents obsessively and approaches every fight like a technical puzzle to solve.

Mikhail Orlov grew up training in combat sports from a young age, developing a reputation as a disciplined and dangerous competitor long before turning professional. After compiling a strong amateur record across regional European promotions, they joined NextGen Combat to sharpen their already dangerous grappling and striking skill set. Still early in their professional career, he is viewed by many as one of the gym’s promising long-term prospects.
