Stanoy ‘The Cobra’ Tabakov is a Bulgarian MMA fighter with a background in Samb. He took bronze in the 2010 European Sambo Championship and silver in the 2010 World Combat Sambo Championship. 

When Stanoy first began his MMA journey in 2010, he had a rough start. He suffered back to back losses but has done nothing but win ever since, currently riding a five-fight win streak. ‘The Cobra’ was active from 2010 to 2014 and reenters the fight world at his country’s second hosting of the fastest growing combat sport in the world. 

Tabakov will be very pressure heavy with a mauling approach like we tend to see in Combat Sambo style fighters. You can expect him to use a lot of clinch work from the inside by setting his opponents up with jabs but he will also welcome a from-distance striking affair.

Tabakov is a family man through and through with the utmost of focus on his young son and daughter. He enjoys hiking for exercise along with sparring and grappling.
