Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

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?] 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]}
