It was at this moment that the attack was carried out, reports a source from REN TV journalists.

According to her, the noise did not last long.

The first video from the scene of the attack on the Russian athlete also appeared. A CCTV camera captured the alleged criminals. The recording shows how the attackers entered the entrance where the world champion in combat sambo lives, and a few minutes later ran out. This video may help law enforcement officers identify the shooters.
The criminals fired several shots in the face and beat Mirzaev with a bat. The fighter was taken to one of the capital's hospitals, where he was operated on. An investigation is being carried out into the attack on the world champion.
Mirzaev gained scandalous fame on August 13, 2011, when he hit 19-year-old student Ivan Agafonov near the Garage nightclub. The latter hit the asphalt when he fell, lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital. Later, the young man fell into a coma and died a few days later. A criminal case was opened against Mirzaev. In November 2012, Mirzaev was found guilty of causing death by negligence. He was released in the courtroom because he had served his sentence in a pre-trial detention center.
In connection with the investigation, Mirzaev was disqualified by the Russian Sambo Federation and suspended from the World Combat Sambo Championship, which took place in Vilnius. Currently, Rasul Mirzaev continues to perform in mixed martial arts. During his career, he received the title of Russian MMA champion in weight up to 60 kilograms. He is the winner of the World Cup in pankration, the world champion in combat sambo and the world champion in the weight category up to 65 kilograms according to Fight Nights as part of the “Battle of Moscow – 4” tournament.
Investigators from the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow opened a criminal case into an attack on fighter Rasul Mirzaev in Moscow. A criminal case was opened under two articles at once - “Intentional infliction of moderate harm to health by a group of persons using weapons” and “Violation of the inviolability of the home.” The identities of the attackers are being established and a search is underway.

The media named the reason for the attack on world sambo champion Mirzaev
World champion in combat sambo and MMA fighter Rasul Mirzaev could have stood up for the Irish fighter of Russian origin Artem Lobov in a Moscow club, which was the reason for the attack on him, Life reports.
Mirzaev was attacked on Vostochnaya Street in Moscow, after which he was taken to hospital. It is noted that the attackers fired several shots at Mirzaev’s face. Later a criminal case was opened. In 2012, Mirzaev was sentenced to two years of restricted freedom for causing death by negligence.

According to the source, Mirzaev's relatives deny the version that the attack was revenge for the incident with Agafonov. One of Mirzaev’s friends said that natives of Dagestan took revenge on the Russian fighter after Mirzaev stood up for fighter Artem Lobov, who trains in Ireland with UFC champion Conor McGregor, in one of the Moscow clubs.
“At the club, a group of natives of Dagestan approached Mirzaev and Lobov. After talking, a dispute ensued between Lobov and them over a possible fight between the Irishman Conor McGregor and the Dagestani Khabib Nurmagomedov. According to the guys from Dagestan, Conor was simply afraid to enter the ring against Khabib. Lobov, who trained in the same club as McGregor, did not agree with them. The guys, of course, didn’t like this, and they began to insult Artyom. Here Mirzaev entered the flaring conflict. Word for word, a fight broke out, but the club’s security quickly arrived. I think that now they decided to finish what they started and ambushed Rasul at his home,” Mirzaev’s friend told the publication.

Rasul Rabadanovich Mirzaev was born on March 30, 1986 in the city of Kizlyar in the Republic of Dagestan (some publications stated that his hometown was Gudermes, Chechen Republic). According to Mirzaev, as a child, doctors predicted disability for him, but later the doctors managed to get him back on his feet. The family was left without a father early on, and Rasul’s mother Patimat Kadieva had to send him and his brother to a boarding school. Mirzaev said that he often ran away from the boarding school, “walked on his own, slept somewhere under the trees,” and in the third grade he “tried drinking and smoking.” He also talked about how he often fought as a child (“Because I constantly moved to different areas. And when you come here, you have to prove yourself”).
Soon Mirzaev was taken from the boarding school by his uncle, who, seeing that the boy was very active, sent him to the freestyle wrestling section. According to Mirzaev himself, “there was a strong school there, a strict sports regime.”
After finishing his studies at a comprehensive school, Mirzaev was drafted into the army. According to him, he himself tried to get the medical board to accept him, despite the injury he had received shortly before, because it was “a good chance to escape from the place” where he lived. Mirzaev served in the tank forces in Vladimir, where he was “allowed to devote time to training.” At the same time, according to the athlete himself, the service did not always go smoothly, “there were conflicts and grievances,” which he himself explained by the fact that “in his youth” he was hot-tempered. Soon he was noticed by the “head of training” at the Moscow Higher Military Command School (MVVKU). After winning a number of competitions, Mirzaev was invited to enter the Moscow Higher Educational Institution, after which he played for the university’s sports team. According to the press, Mirzaev did not graduate from the school: the management of the educational institution was changed, who were less loyal to the fact that students devoted a lot of time to sports activities.
Since 2007, Mirzaev, in his own words, began to train under the guidance of combat sambo masters, coaches Nikolai Elesin and Kamil Gadzhiev (the latter was also called the athlete’s “promoter”). Mirzaev’s combat sambo classes were successful, in 2008 he appeared in the media as a master sports. In November 2010, at the World Sambo Championships in Tashkent, Mirzaaev took first place in the combat sambo section, defeating the athlete from Mongolia Baasankhun Damlanpurev in thirty seconds in the final. In the same year, the Moscow Sambo Federation chose Mirzaaev as the “Best Athlete of the Year” in combat sambo
Mirzaev also competed in mixed martial arts (Mixed Martial Arts, MMA). It was noted that by August 2011 he had five victories to his name. The first of them was won by the athlete in October 2009 during the “Battle of Champions in Elista” competition in a duel with Danil Touring. In June 2010, in the “Battle of Moscow” competition of the Fight Nights promotion agency, he won a fight with Marat Pekov. In March 2010, in the “Battle of Moscow 3,” Mirzaev defeated Evgeniy Khavilov, winning the title of Russian champion. In May of the same year, during the “United Glory 2010-2011 World Series Finals” competition, he won the fight with Roman Kishev. In July 2011 In 2018, a fight took place that brought Mirzaev wider sports fame. During the “Battle of Moscow 4” competition in the Fight Nights series, the athlete defeated the Japanese Masanori Kanehara in less than two minutes. The fight brought him the title of world champion in mixed martial arts MMA in the weight category up to 65 kilograms.
Mirzaev tried himself in other areas of activity. According to media reports, at least since 2010 he has worked as a bailiff to ensure the established procedure for the activities of the courts of the Office of the Federal Bailiff Service in Moscow. He actively participated in the internal competitions of the FSSP and more than once took first place in them in complex martial arts. In addition, in June 2011, the athlete talked about how he managed to take part in the filming of the film. The information published in the press about Mirzaev’s work at the Moscow school (later the Education Center) “Sambo 70” was contradictory: on the website of the Moscow Sambo Federation the athlete was mentioned as a representative of the school “Sambo 70”, and in August 2011 he called himself its coach ( although in an earlier interview of the same year he claimed that he “doesn’t even have time to think about coaching yet”). However, the director of the center, Renat Laishev, stated in August 2011 that Mirzaev until July of the same year was only “listed” as an athlete-instructor.
On August 15, 2011, at about 4 a.m., in Moscow, at the entrance to the Garage club, Mirzaev had an argument with 19-year-old police college graduate Ivan Agafonov (according to other sources, Agafonov was expelled from the police college in his 4th year). After a verbal altercation, the sambist struck Agafonov in the face. The young man fell on the asphalt. After the blow, Agafonov came to his senses, but soon became worse. He was taken to the hospital, where, according to some reports, he was not immediately provided with assistance due to a “shift change.” On the same day, Agafonov fell into a coma and died four days later. Doctors named the cause of his death as “cerebral edema and subsequent pulmonary edema” and “fragmentation of the cerebellum.”
It was noted that after the conflict, on August 16, 2011, Mirzaev signed a contract with the American fight organization Bellator Fighting Championships, according to which he was supposed to take part in several fights in the United States.
Best of the day
On August 19, a criminal case was opened against Mirzaev under Article 111, Part 4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm resulting in death.” On the same day, the athlete voluntarily turned himself in to law enforcement authorities, after which he was detained.
At the court hearing regarding the choice of a preventive measure, Mirzaev admitted his guilt, but insisted that he did not want to kill anyone. He apologized to the relatives of the deceased. The athlete explained his actions by saying that Agafonov insulted his companion (the Kommersant newspaper reported that Mirzaev’s girlfriend, with whom he was in the nightclub, was named Alla Kosogorova), and she “is not a prostitute to offer to pick her up.” At the same time, the media noted that, according to the results of a preliminary examination, Agafonov could have died from a blow to the asphalt; accordingly, the case could have been reclassified under Article 109 of the Criminal Code (“causing death by negligence”). This medical version was also supported by the lawyer of the Agafonov family, Igor Trunov, nevertheless insisting on Article 111.
On August 22, Mirzaev was released on bail of 5 million rubles, the petition was signed by 18 deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Dagestan, as well as, according to some information, “4 State Duma deputies, ring partners, Sports Federations and fellow countrymen from Dagestan.” According to Kommersant, even the head of the Republic of Dagestan Magomedsalam Magomedov “was not against” Mirzaev being released on bail. Some publications claimed that witnesses to the incident began to refuse their testimony for fear of persecution by representatives of the Dagestani diaspora.
On the same day, August 22, the All-Russian Sambo Federation disqualified Mirzaev and removed him from preparations for the World Combat Sambo Championship, which was to be held in November in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius. On August 23, 2011, the Moscow City Court overturned the decision of the Zamoskvoretsky District Court to release Mirzaev on bail, citing mainly procedural violations. By this time, it became known that the athlete was officially charged under Part 4 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
On August 23, the media, citing a source in the capital’s law enforcement agencies, reported that the victim Agafonov was a defendant in the case of an attack on a lottery club in the north-west of Moscow and, unlike the others involved in the case, was under recognizance not to leave. According to other sources, he and his friends twice tried to steal a shipment of iPhones they had ordered from couriers, threatening them with a traumatic pistol.
Mirzaev's case caused a wide public outcry. Agafonov’s friends, street racers, organized an action in his memory on Vorobyovy Gory on August 19. Nationalists compared the murder of Agafonov with the murder of fan Yegor Sviridov in Moscow in December 2010 and, according to some information, if Mirzaev was released, they planned to organize mass unrest in the capital “according to the scenario of the infamous events on Manezhnaya Square.” In turn, Mirzaev’s lawyer Igor Dergachev assessed the decision to cancel the athlete’s release on bail as “overly politicized” and taken “long before the court hearing.” “Rasul should be judged for what he did, and not for the consequences that occurred,” he emphasized.
In January 2012, it became known that the investigative authorities, based on the results of three forensic medical examinations, nevertheless reclassified Mirzaev’s article to a “lighter” one - part 1 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code (“causing death by negligence”), the maximum punishment for which could not exceed two years' imprisonment. The case went to trial at the end of the month. The situation of August 2011 repeated itself: on February 13, 2012, the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow released Mirzaev from custody on bail of 100 thousand rubles, but the next day the Moscow City Court, as in August 2011, overturned this decision. On February 16, it became known that the investigation had again reclassified the athlete’s case, returning to the original version of the charge (“intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm, negligently resulting in the death of the victim”).
In March 2012, the head of Dagestan, Magomedsalam Magomedov, spoke with words of support for Mirzaev, recognizing the “excessive politicization” of his case and promising that the government of the republic would protect the rights of the defendant.
In June 2012, it became known that Mirzaev was finally charged under a more serious article (“intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm”). He faced up to 15 years in prison.
The media mentioned Mirzaev's nickname - the Black Tiger, noting that he received it because in the ring he "constantly goes on the offensive and can drive an opponent like a victim." Mirzaev’s love for “spectacle” in battle was noted. Mirzaev's height is 171 centimeters (according to other sources - 168 centimeters), weight - about 65 kilograms.
Mirzaev was married, according to information in 2011, from this marriage he has a two-year-old daughter (some publications called her a “one-year-old”), who lives with her mother. The athlete said to himself that he was a believer, a Muslim, and in the army he “started reading the Koran.” At the same time, his friends and relatives noted that recently, due to training, he had become less religious and did not fast during the month of Ramadan, when the murder occurred.
One of the reasons for the brutal attack on the famous fighter Rasul Mirzaev is said to be revenge for Ivan Agafonov, a student who died after being hit by the champion during a street fight. However, the athlete’s relatives reject this version: according to Mirzaev’s close friend, the athlete was retaliated against by his fellow countrymen for standing up for a Russian fighter who came to Russia from Ireland on a visit.
“When Artem Lobov arrived in Moscow from Ireland, he and Rasul and several other guys went to the club to celebrate his arrival,” said a friend of Rasul Mirzaev in an interview with Life. “At the club, a group of natives of Dagestan approached them. After talking, a dispute ensued between Lobov and them over a possible fight between the Irish fighter Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. According to the guys from Dagestan, Conor was simply afraid to enter the ring against Khabib. Lobov, who trained at the same club as McGregor, did not agree with them. The guys, of course, didn’t like this, and they began to insult Artyom. Here Mirzaev entered the flaring conflict. He tried to explain to his fellow countrymen that in a normal dispute one should not resort to insults, Lobov is a guest, which means one must treat him with respect, and not “assault” and make unreasonable claims. Word for word, a fight broke out, but the club’s security quickly arrived. I think that now they decided to finish what they started and ambushed Rasul at his home.”
According to the source, the attackers tried to break the fighter’s legs and strangle him with a chain.
Let us recall that on the night of December 31, world champion in combat sambo Rasul Mirzaev was attacked in his apartment in Moscow, beaten with a bat and shot in the face. The three intruders were let into the apartment by a girl who was a friend of the victim. According to a source close to Mirzaev, immediately after the attack, Rasul contacted a close friend. The fighter’s comrade, arriving at the athlete’s apartment, called the police and doctors. Almost the entire floor of the apartment was covered in blood, and Mirzaev was barely conscious. We have at our disposal a video from the fighter’s apartment immediately after the attack.
“They tried to strangle him with a chain, but Rasul was able to fight back,” says Mirzaev’s comrade. “When fleeing from there, the attackers left weapons in the apartment - a pistol and a chain. They also took money, but Rasul does not yet know how much: he was immediately taken to the hospital. Most likely, they also took jewelry. At the hospital, doctors removed two bullets from Mirzaev’s body, one of which narrowly missed his heart.”
The case of the attack on Rasul Mirzaev will be investigated under two articles.
In the photo, Mirzaev is lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by people who came to visit him.
“Thank you, brothers, for visiting,” says the caption to the photo.
Investigators from the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow opened a criminal case into an attack on fighter Rasul Mirzaev in Moscow. A criminal case was opened under two articles at once - “Intentional infliction of moderate harm to health by a group of persons using weapons” and “Violation of the inviolability of the home.” The identities of the attackers are being established and a search is underway.
The assassination attempt on the famous mixed style fighter Rasul Mirzaev occurred due to a conflict with fellow countrymen near one of the nightclubs in Moscow.
The media found out the reason for the assassination attempt on the famous mixed style fighter Rasul Mirzaev, as a result of which the athlete received gunshot wounds and was hospitalized. According to MK, on the eve of the attack, Mirzaev had a conflict with his fellow countrymen near one of the nightclubs in Moscow.
On December 16, Mirzaev, together with Artem Lobov, a sparring partner of UFC champion Conor McGregor, who had flown into the city, went to a nightclub to celebrate the meeting.
At the club, Lobov began a conflict with a drunken Dagestani, who was outraged by McGregor’s reluctance to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov. Mirzaev and his friend seemed to have settled the conflict, but half an hour later at the entrance to the club it resumed.
The club's security intervened in the fight and took the side of the athletes. The Dagestanis who attacked their fellow countryman Mirzaev decided that it was he who was to blame for the heated confrontation with the guards and decided to track him down in order to punish him.
It took them about ten days to find the fighter: his close friend helped find Mirzaev. It was she who was with the athlete in his apartment on December 31 and let the criminals in for financial reward.
When the girl fled from the scene of the future conflict, the attackers beat the sleeping fighter with baseball bats. Mirzaev was able to resist the attackers. Then the criminals tried to strangle the athlete with a chain and fired several shots from a traumatic pistol, one of which hit the man in the jaw.
Confident that the athlete had died as a result of their actions, the criminals fled. At the moment, their identities have been established, but their whereabouts remain unknown.
Meanwhile, a friend of the MMA fighter Aniuar Chechenov spoke about Rasul Mirzaev’s well-being after the attack. According to Chechenov, by now the fighter’s condition has worsened. He remains in the hospital.
Let us remind you that during his career in mixed martial arts, Mirzaev won 17 victories and suffered one defeat.
In 2011, Mirzaev became known to the general public after he became a defendant in a criminal case in connection with the negligent murder of 19-year-old student Ivan Agafonov.
In 2012, as a result of legal proceedings, the athlete spent one year in a pre-trial detention center instead of the original two years in prison.
Russian athlete, world champion in combat sambo Rasul Mirzaev, who was attacked, posted a photo of himself from the hospital on Instagram.
