Personal life

[edit]

Berkhamov was previously known as "The Red Devil," a moniker inspired by his distinctive ginger hair and beard.[96]

He now goes by the nickname Cherkes, which simply means Circassian in Russian. In Kabardino-Balkaria, where many identify as Circassian (specifically of Kabardian tribe), the name reflects Berkhamov's ethnic origin and local identity.[97][98]

Berkhamov lost two times in his entire pro MMA career. However, prior to Berkhamov defeat against Lorenz Larkin & Thad Jean, the Cherkes fighter did lose against estimable MMA fighter of Rutul origin, Marif Telmanovich Piraev, in a exhibition MMA bout via a unanimous decision.[99][100] This was not counted on his pro fight record by Sherdog.

Berkhamov carries the repute of having two master of sports in two different combat sports at amateur level. He is master of sports both in Combat Sambo and Army Hand-to-Hand Combat.[69]

During the holy month of Ramzan, Berkhamov typically modifies his training routine to a less intense schedule, incorporating light grappling and pad work.[101] He places greater emphasis on weight training, including lifting weights, and gradual physical conditioning to regain muscle mass lost during fasting hours.[102]

Sometime in 2018, Berkhamov in preparation for his ACB title defence bout against Albert "Einstein" Tumenov, trained at the renowned American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) gym, where he (Berkhamov) joined notable fighters Khabib "The Eagle" Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, who were preparing for their respective bouts.[6]

Both Berkhamov and Tumenov were hesitant to face each other, fearing it would ignite ethnic tensions between Balkars (Tumenov) and Kabardians (Berkhamov).[40] As both of them comes from the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic in Russia.[6] To ease tensions between the two groups, both fighters called for mutual respect, emphasizing their shared faith (Islam) and common homeland, the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. They also advised their fans not to succumb to nationalist hatred.[40] However, the fight was later canceled due to an arm injury sustained by Berkhamov.[103]

The year 2018 was a challenging period for Mukhamed Berkhamov, as he endured three consecutive injuries.[41][50][46] Two of these injuries involved his left arm, preventing him from defending his ACA World Welterweight title against leading challengers Beslan Isaev and Albert Tumenov. The second injury stemmed partly from inadequate treatment of the first, requiring surgery to insert a stabilizing plate.[46] Following the procedure, Berkhamov's arm gradually recovered, and he focused on light training sessions. During this period, he refrained from using his left hand and prioritized moderate-paced exercises to safeguard his health and prevent further setbacks. He also participated in amateur combat tournaments to keep himself in shape.[46]

However, just as Berkhamov appeared poised for a comeback, tragedy struck with a third injury—a torn knee ligament.[50] The severity of this injury, coupled with the prolonged recovery it required, ultimately forced Berkhamov to relinquish his ACA World Welterweight title.[50]

On the other hand, Berkhamov held training camp at Fight Club Akhmat in preparation for his fight against fellow Kavkaz fighter Sharaf "Sherkhan" Davlatmurodov of Tajikstan.[104]

Following his victory over Sharaf "Sherkhan" Davlatmurodov at ACB 55: Davlatmurodov vs. Berkhamov card, Berkhamov took a brief break to recover, only engaging in light training sessions just to maintain his fitness.[101] After the three to four weeks resting period, Berkhamov then competed in the Don Cup for army hand-to-hand combat (ARB), winning first place in the 85-kilogram category.[102]

In 2019, Mukhamed Berkhamov undertook a rigorous multi-stage training regimen in preparation for his fight against Brazilian fighter Ciro "Bad Boy" Rodrigues. The first stage of his preparation was a three-week training camp at the prestigious Allstars Training Center in Solna, Sweden.[105] There, Berkhamov worked under the guidance of skilled coaches and trained with a roster of notable fighters, including Khamzat "Borz" Chimaev, Alexey Efremov, Frantz Slioa, Jonathan Westin, and several other top competitors. The camp provided a comprehensive platform for Berkhamov to sharpen his skills and enhance his overall performance.[105]

Following his time in Sweden, Berkhamov transitioned to the second stage of preparation in Makhachkala, Dagestan, training at the Gorets Fight Club (Magomed Ankalaev gym) and other local gyms.[106] This stage emphasized wrestling and sparring, allowing Berkhamov to refine his grappling techniques further in Dagestan.[105]

However as of right now, Berkhamov trains in Kill Cliff FC, where he was teammates with renowned fighters like Kamarudeen "The Nigerian Nightmare" Usman and Shavkat Rakhmonov.[107][108]

During his early years at the Kill Cliff FC gym, Berkhamov chose not to accept payment for offering his services as a sparring partner.[108] On one occasion, then-UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman offered to pay him during their sparring sessions. However, Berkhamov, unfamiliar with this practice and deeming it unnecessary, politely declined the offer, expressing that the opportunity to train alongside Welterweight legend Usman was rewarding enough in itself.[108]

Nevertheless back at Berhkhamov native town of Baksan, he trains Baksan Fighting Club/Team Alligator Nalchic under the leadership of fellow Circassian coach Beslan Zhamurzov.[18][109]

Mukhamed Berkhamov, Ali "Hulk" Bagov, and Mukhamed Kokov are among the most estimable fighters to emerge from the Circassian community.[46] These athletes not only represent their shared heritage but also frequently collaborate during training camps, using their combined expertise to sharpen each other's skills and realize enhanced outcomes in their respective careers.[46]
