Career
RIZIN's official profile states that he took up boxing in 2009 and won a national tournament within two years. In a September 2024 interview with MMAPLANET he said he was a three-time champion of Kazakhstan. No public record of his amateur win-loss figures exists, so those numbers are simply not published.
He switched to MMA in 2015 and made his professional debut on March 13 that year under the Kazakh promotion Alash Pride. He fights southpaw — MMAPLANET's fight reports identify his stance — and his finishing tools are the left straight, left hook and left body shot carried over from boxing. In September 2023 he stopped former UFC fighter and The Ultimate Fighter 14 winner Diego Brandao in 36 seconds. At RIZIN.47 in June 2024 he knocked out Tetsuya Seki with a left body shot, then took out Karate Kinoshita with a left straight at RIZIN.48, both in round one.
He is also reported to have won a silat world tournament, finishing all three bouts in a single day by KO, though the year is given as 2016 by Japanese Wikipedia and as 2017 by Dautbek himself in that 2024 interview. RIZIN's ranking site (rizinff.net) lists his title honors as "none," and no MMA championship can be confirmed.
His gym affiliation is reported inconsistently. RIZIN's official site lists "Turan Orda / Tiger Muay Thai," while Gong Kakutogi reported on May 7, 2025 that he had announced joining American Top Team. Because no single primary gym can be confirmed for September 2026, this article does not assert one. No nickname appears on his RIZIN, Sherdog or Tapology pages.
At Super RIZIN.5
September 10, 2026, Kyocera Dome Osaka. RIZIN's official fight card lists Dautbek against Ren Hiramoto under RIZIN MMA rules, three five-minute rounds at 66.0kg. It comes roughly two months after his July 18 win over Kyohei Hagiwara (KO/TKO at 4:08 of round one). He had withdrawn from a scheduled bout at RIZIN 52 in March 2026; outlets differ on the reason, so it is not specified here. The Hagiwara fight was his return from that layoff. Since losing to Mikuru Asakura in 2018, no Japanese opponent has beaten him.
YA-MAN also appears on the same Super RIZIN.5 card.
