Reading this record
Lilia Kurbanova is recorded at 14–3–1, with 5 of those 14 wins ending by knockout. Modern-era figures are the more dependable ones on this site: WLC and MTLF cards are sanctioned and their results published, so these numbers can be checked against event results rather than oral history.
36% of those wins came inside the distance, which ranks 29th of the 29 profiled fighters with a documented record. That points to a fighter who won through accumulation and control rather than one-shot power, a profile well suited to a format where surviving deep rounds is itself a result.
Lilia Kurbanova is one of 3 fighters profiled at bantamweight, and fights southpaw — one of only 3 southpaws in this roster, an angle advantage that counts for more without gloves, where the lead hand does its damage on contact.
Lilia Kurbanova is listed as active, so this record is a snapshot rather than a final tally.
