Maxim Novoselov

On 29 June 2019, Novoselov was supposed to fight with Vyacheslav Datsik. However, on June 16, Datsik's jaw broke in the True Gym Fights tournament and the fights had to be cancelled.

A week after the release, he already participated in the battles. In Japan, he was given the nickname 'Mad Max'. In 2012, he was sentenced to three and a half years for patronizing the drug business.

He has fought 14 fights on a professional level. At the beginning of his career in mixed martial arts, he won only one fight in his first tour, but later, after a long absence (he had only won one fight between 2008 and 2016), he won 10 fights in a row, finishing all of them in the first round. For almost all rivals, the fight with Novoselov was the debut in professional MMA, and for many the only one, with the exception of Jimmy Ambris.

For several months he served in Nagorno-Karabakh as a military instructor. After returning, he began to participate in underground fights without rules. In the early 1990s, he participated in criminal showdowns. In 1993, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison on charges of murder. Despite this, he still continued to participate in underground battles.
