Marcin Tybura (born November 9, 1985) is a Polish professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Heavyweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). A professional competitor since 2011, Tybura previously fought for M-1 and was an M-1 Global Heavyweight Champion and M-1 Grand Prix 2013 Heavyweight Champion.[4] As of September 27, 2021 , he is #9 in the UFC heavyweight rankings.[5]

Early life[]

Tybura began training in 2006 after a friend introduced him to the sport. Within weeks, he began feeling the urge to compete. However, he would not make his professional debut until several years later.[6]

He earned a Master's degree in Physical Education at the University of Łódź.[7]

Mixed martial arts career[]

Early career[]

Tybura made his professional debut on November 5, 2011, against Robert Marcok, whom he beat by a rear-naked choke. He won his next five fights on the Polish MMA circuit, most notably defeating the future UFC heavyweight Adam Wieczorek by a unanimous decision. His last fight at the regional level was a third-round TKO of Krystian Kopytowski at Gladiator Arena 4.[8]

M-1 Global[]

In 2013, Tybura signed with the Russian based M-1 Global promotion. For his promotional debut, Tybura was scheduled to fight Denis Komkin as a Heavyweight Grand Prix alternate bout.[9] He won the fight by TKO, after Komkin retired from the bout at the end of the first round.[10]

Tybura was then scheduled to fight Chaban Ka at M-1 Challenge 41, in a Heavyweight Grand Prix Semifinal.[11] He beat Ka by a first-round TKO.[12]

In his next two fights, Tybura beat Konstantin Gluhov at M-1 Challenge 42 by rear-naked choke and Maro Perak at M-1 Challenge 47 by a third-round TKO.[13]

At M-1 Challenge 50, Tybura fought Damian Grabowski in the M-1 Heavyweight Grand Prix finals.[14] Tybura submitted Grabowski with a north-south choke 88 seconds into the first round, to become the M-1 Heavyweight champion.[15] He was scheduled to make his first title defense against Denis Smoldarev at M-1 Challenge 53.[16] Tybura successfully defended the title with a first-round submission.

After successfully defending his title, Tybura was scheduled to fight the M-1 Light-heavyweight titleholder Stephan Puetz in a super-fight. The super-fight was contested at heavyweight, with neither of the belts being on the line.[17] Tybura came into the fight with a 10 kilogram weight advantage. Despite winning the first two rounds on the judges' scorecards, Tybura suffered a cut in the third round, which forced the ringside doctor to stop the bout. Tybura suffered the first loss of his professional career, as Puetz was awarded the TKO win.[18]

In his last fight with M-1, Tybura was scheduled to defend his title for the second time against the Croatian heavyweight Ante Delija.[19] The fight ended two minutes into the first round, as Delija suffered a leg break, due to a checked leg kick.[20]
