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 February 6, 2024, he is #10 in the UFC heavyweight rankings.[5]

Early life

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

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

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 suffered the first loss of his professional career, as Puetz was awarded the TKO win.[18]
