Kickboxing career

Yuksel Ayaydin made his professional debut in 2006, during La Grande Sfida sui 4 Angoli, when he faced Tihamer Brunner. He would lose a unanimous decision.[3] He would lose his next bout against Konstantin Gluhov as well.

Following his two debut losses, Ayaydin bounced back with a three fight winning streak, most notably defeating Pierre Celestin Yana. This would be followed by a three fight losing streak.

Ayaydin then amassed a five fight unbeaten streak, with notable wins over Lucian Danilencu and Abdarhmane Coulibaly, which earned him the chance to fight for the FFMDA Heavyweight title. Entering the tournament he won a unanimous decision against Frederic Heine in the semi-finals, as well as a unanimous decision over Daniel Lentie to clinch the championship.[4]

After winning his first major honor, Ayadin went on a 4–3 run, with wins over Agron Preteni and Wendell Roche. Entering the Impact Night Heavyweight Tournament, he lost in the first round to Freddy Kemayo.[5]

In 2013 he was scheduled to fight for the WMC heavyweight title against Igor Mihaljević. He won a unanimous decision.[6]

In 2014 he entered the FK ONE Heavyweight Tournament, but lost to Freddy Kemayo in the finals.[7]

He had his last professional fight in 2018, losing a unanimous decision to Roman Kryklia during MFC 7.[8]

Ayaydın returned to professional competition on September 22, 2022, as he was booked to face Giuseppe Dominico at MFC 9.[9]
