Salikhov's achievements in Wushu Sanda are historic: he is one of only two non-Chinese fighters ever to win the King's Cup, a feat that places him among the elite in the sport globally. His amateur record of 185 wins with 76 knockouts across 199 fights is a testament to his dominance. As a professional, he has brought that striking pedigree to the UFC, where his spinning wheel kick knockout of Andre Fialho remains one of the division's most replayed moments.
