About
Meet Mark — an athlete born on May 23, 2014, for whom sport is a way of life. He practices Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), grappling, freestyle wrestling, and jiu-jitsu. Mark began his athletic journey at the age of four at Krav Maga Armenia, founded by Sargis Bazinyan. He initially trained under the guidance of International Master of Sports Mayis Nersesyan, and later continued his training under Honored Coach of Armenia Artur Zaqaryan. Noticing Mark’s dedication, natural physical strength, and consistent progress, his coach moved him to the professional team KMA Fight Club, where he continues to train to this day.
Mark’s dedication and hard work have led to remarkable achievements. He won a gold medal at the international tournament AJP TOUR (Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Pro) held in Yerevan. Following this, he tested his skills in the National Amateur Open Championship of Mixed Martial Arts MIXFIGHT and secured first place.
On May 23, 2025, by participating in the Armenian Mixed Martial Arts Championship (MMAFA), he became the Champion of Armenia.
2025 was also marked by success on the international stage. In Belgrade, Serbia, Mark competed in the IMMAF European Championship and became the champion. Later, at the IMMAF World Championship held in Al Ain (Abu Dhabi, UAE), he became the vice-champion, proving that he is one of the world’s top young fighters. That same year, he participated in the Gokor Chivichyan's Cup international grappling tournament and won first place.
Mark also loves swimming, and back in 2024, he took first place in freestyle at the internal swimming championship organized by the InSport club.
Through daily training and unwavering determination, Mark continues his journey toward new achievements. His story is one of perseverance, success, and relentless ambition.
