Adam Yandiev

Adam Yandiev is a Russian mixed martial arts fighter, master of sports, winner of judo awards. In addition to his sports career, he is known for a number of scandals that have occurred with his participation.

Adam Alikhanovich Boroda Yandiev was born in Ingushetia on July 7, 1988 and became the second child in the family - his brother Abukar was born a year earlier. Adam's father, a former judoka, was in business. When the boy was 4 years old, the family moved to Moscow. The boys went to the 1st grade at the same time, regardless of the difference in the year - the elder Yandiev wanted the children to be together everywhere. Later Alikhan sent the boys to the judo section of the USK "Sambo-70".

There was a period when Yandiev was seriously going to leave martial arts. Adam developed Osgood-Schlatter disease, characteristic of young athletes, in which, against the background of frequent injuries, pathological growth of the tibia occurs. This made training impossible - the young man's knee hurt unbearably.

Adam decided to change his sport and took up tennis. Yandiev liked the new undertaking: he collected money on his own, acquired a uniform and a racket. The success of the young man led to the fact that they wanted to send him to train in Spain, but traditions stood in the way of the athlete. It turned out that, according to the customs and norms of behavior of the Ingush, playing tennis is shameful for a boy.

I had to submit to the parental will, and Yandiev returned to the tatami. In 2001, Yandiev became the candidate master of sports in judo, in 2005 he received the title of master of sports.

Adam got to his first international tournament at the age of 10 - then he was held in St. Petersburg. The boy took 3rd place. During the judo period, Yandiev won more than one victory: he took the World Cup, European Cup, even won the French championship - the brothers played for this country. Initially, the main purpose of the brothers' departure abroad was to learn the language, and the fighting was seen simply as an opportunity to live in France.

At first, it was not easy in a foreign country: the Yandiyevs had $ 500 for two, and they had to live almost from hand to mouth. At first, the coach did not take the brothers seriously, but at the very first training session, Adam and Abukar showed themselves so well that the man took over all the expenses.

After leaving France, the brothers left for Qatar, where, in addition to speaking for the country, they worked in the police and trained the king's security. The brothers named the change in the rules of this sport as the reason for leaving judo. After the ban on certain techniques, the Yandiyevs decided to change their combat profile.

Adam began to be interested in mixed martial arts as a child, when in 1998 the coach took him and Abukar to the tournament, just for the boys to try. Isa Bachalov became Adam's coach. The transition to a different form of fighting was not easy: due to the difference in load, the body was very sore, and my arms were tired. However, having switched to MMA, Yandiev did not know defeat until 2018. From December 20, 2014 to October 10, 2015, the athlete fought 9 fights, in each of which he won.

Yandiev's battle in 2015 with Belarusian athlete Dmitry Voitov caused a flurry of gossip. In the opinion of professionals and fans of martial arts, the fight proceeded strangely and unevenly, which gave rise to the suspicion that the fight was negotiated. Adam flatly denied the accusations and explained the shortcomings of the tactics by incorrect preparation for the fight.

In January 2016, a scandal erupted on the Internet, caused by a misunderstanding between Yandiev and another MMA fighter, Vladimir Mineev. The latter, in his blog on Instagram, expressed doubt about Adam's readiness to fight. Yandiev responded in a rather harsh manner, which led to the subsequent stormy correspondence between the athletes.

However, in the end, the differences were settled through personal communication between the fighters. Against the background of the conflict, rumors about the upcoming battle between Adam and Vladimir were circulated for some time, but they were not confirmed.

In 2018, after an almost 3-year hiatus in his combat biography, Adam Yandiev moved to the UFC. The first battle in his new capacity was the fight on September 15, 2018 with the American athlete Jordan Johnson. At that time, both athletes had only victories on their account, but Johnson, who did not take any breaks in his career, surpassed Yandiev both in preparation and in physical form. As a result of the battle, Yandiev was defeated, losing ahead of schedule to Jordan after the American used a choke hold.

Adam's life outside the ring has repeatedly been in the spotlight of journalists. For example, in 2015, a video was posted on Youtube, allegedly representing a recording from an outdoor surveillance video camera. According to the annotation to the video, the camera filmed a fight with the participation of Adam Yandiev and singer Timati. The news spread across the Web on the principle of a "damaged phone", and soon users were already talking about a fight directly between the singer and the athlete.

Of course, Timati did not fight with Adam even on the video - the men have been friends for a long time. However, it was not possible to understand the nature of the recording, as a result, the audience came to the conclusion that the "fight" was staged and aimed at PR.

The real conflict turned out to be much more serious. On April 30, 2017, Yandiev and his wife were in a Moscow restaurant, where Isa Belkhoroev was also there, with whom Adam had a conflict six months earlier because of "folk traditions." The fighter is very sensitive to his wife, is not shy about his feelings and posts joint photos on Instagram, including those in which there is physical contact between the couple.

Isa Belkhoroev considered such behavior unworthy of the Ingush, referring to the foundations according to which any relationship between spouses should in no case be made public. Yandiyev responded sharply, and as a result, the conflict had to be settled at the teips level.

After the clash, a fight broke out in the restaurant, and Adam was alone, and a group of friends came with Belkhoroev. In the process of sorting out the relationship, the fighter was hit on the head and fell. Isa later denied his guilt, making Yandiev's wife the instigator of the scandal. The fighter himself said that his photos were just a pretext - the true cause of the conflict was Isa's envy of his success. Yandiev did not contact the police.

Another serious incident connected with the name of Yandiev happened without the participation of Adam himself. In March 2016, his Lamborghini car crashed into a pole. As a result, 2 people died, but the fighter had nothing to do with the incident. He gave the car for diagnostics shortly before the accident, and the salon technician decided to take a ride in an expensive car. Due to his injuries, the driver died on the spot, the passenger died later in the hospital.

Commenting on the incident, Yandiyev said that in such a situation, the damage worries him least of all, expressed his sincere condolences to the relatives of the victims.

The fighter not only hides his personal life, but also does not advertise details. In an interview with MK in 2015, Adam said he was divorced. However, already in 2016, news appeared on the Web that Yandiev got married. The athlete's chosen one was a girl from Kyrgyzstan named Aisha, an Uzbek by nationality. The couple have two children - in 2016, a daughter, Delilah, was born, in April 2018, a son, Adam, was born.

The Yandiyevs lead a secular life, and Aisha can be seen in modern clothes and without the traditional headdress for oriental women. After the conflict with Belkhoroev, Adam did not stop posting family photos on Instagram, and under one of them promised that the one who pokes his nose into his family affairs will be left not only without a nose, but also without a head.

Now Adam trains in order to stay in the necessary form for fighting and maintain the middle weight category - with a height of 181 cm, the weight of an athlete on average is 90 - 93 kg.

His Instagram account is still open, but his administrators are running it - Yandiev himself admitted that his life is easier without Instagram.
