'''Jordan Radev''' ({{langx|bg|Йордан Радев}}; born March 4, 1976) is a [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria)n [wrestler](/source/wrestling) and professional [mixed martial artist](/source/Mixed_martial_arts). He was the second[[https://mma.bg/novini/mma-novini/parviyat-balgarin-v-ufc-valeri-ignatov-trenirah-nik-dias-otkakto-beshe-na-16 Валери Игнатов]] Bulgarian mixed martial artist to fight in the [Ultimate Fighting Championship](/source/Ultimate_Fighting_Championship) in its [middleweight](/source/Middleweight_(MMA)) division.
Radev had two bouts in the UFC - at [UFC Fight Night 10](/source/UFC_Fight_Night_10) against [Andrew McFedries](/source/Andrew_McFedries), and at [UFC 79](/source/UFC_79) against [Dean Lister](/source/Dean_Lister). After the UFC bouts, his next fight was scheduled to be against the Cuban/Australian [judo](/source/judo)ka [Hector Lombard](/source/Hector_Lombard) in the Australian promotion Cage Fighting Championships. However, he was denied a visa to [Australia](/source/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](/source/Konfrontacja_Sztuk_Walki) 9 – Konfrontacja, Yuya Shirai in [M-1 Global](/source/M-1_Global), and against [Alexander Shlemenko](/source/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](/source/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}}
