He was the second<ref>[https://mma.bg/novini/mma-novini/parviyat-balgarin-v-ufc-valeri-ignatov-trenirah-nik-dias-otkakto-beshe-na-16 Валери Игнатов]</ref> Bulgarian mixed martial artist to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship in its middleweight division.
Radev had two bouts in the UFC - at UFC Fight Night 10 against Andrew McFedries, and at UFC 79 against Dean Lister. After the UFC bouts, his next fight was scheduled to be against the Cuban/Australian judoka Hector Lombard in the Australian promotion Cage Fighting Championships. However, he was denied a visa to Australia and therefore did not appear.
Besides the UFC, Radev has fought in various other organizations, marking notable wins against the Polish MMA legend Grzegorz Jakubowski in KSW 9 – Konfrontacja, Yuya Shirai in M-1 Global, and against Alexander Shlemenko in the Helsinki Fight Festival. He is also the head MMA coach of the Bulgarian National MMA team in the M-1 Challenge fighting league.
While still active as an MMA fighter, Radev is currently{{when|date=January 2013}} also the head MMA trainer in the Fight Factory in Brooklyn, New York, - the largest boxing and MMA gym on the US East Coast.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}}
