Early life

Tofiq Musayev was born in Sahil, Azerbaijan. Even at school, due to the minimum number of sports sections, he went to karate and later with pankration, kung-fu and taekwondo.{{Cite web |last=Петров |first=Андрей |title=Главная победа Тофика Мусаева |url=https://vestikavkaza.ru/articles/glavnaa-pobeda-tofika-musaeva.html |access-date=2023-03-02 |website=vestikavkaza.ru |language=ru}} Initially having success at the regional level, Musaev decided to devote himself completely to sanda, therefore, after graduating from school in 2007, he entered the sports academy. He became Asian Pankration champion in 2016 and world champion in Kung-fu, while studying at the Azeribaijan Sports Academy from 2007 to 2011. He is blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS7_FKs983I 『Cygames presents RIZIN.14』『Cygames presents RIZIN 平成最後のやれんのか!』直前インタビュー【トフィック・ムサエフ選手】] YouTube 2018年12月29日https://mmaboxing.ru/fighters/mma/tofiq-musayev-113849.html{{Dead link|date=July 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}{{Cite web |title=Arxivlənmiş surət |url=http://orionsc.az/komandamiz/tofiq |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200103125001/http://orionsc.az/komandamiz/tofiq |archive-date=2020-01-03 |access-date=2020-01-03}}{{cite web | url=https://1news.az/az/news/tofiq-musayev-ufc-de-adi-doyuscu-olmaq-istemirem-men-hemise-gucluler-arasinda-birinci-olmaq-istemisem | title=Tofiq Musayev: UFC-də adi döyüşçü olmaq istəmirəm.

Mixed martial arts career

=Early career=

Since MMA was something new in Azerbaijan, and there were no well-trained fighters for sparring and training, Tofiq experienced certain difficulties getting used to the new format fights. Made his professional debut at the Azerbaijan MMA Federation in May 2013. When he was suddenly selected for the main event in that match, he achieved a vivid heel hold in 1R and won his debut match. His main problem was the defense on the ground, because in the first 6 fights, he filled himself with a 3–3 record, losing by submission in two cases out of three. Starting with the Ukrainian Oplot Challenge events, the athlete began to travel to Russia and perform there.{{Cite web |title=Тофик Мусаев (Tofiq Musayev) – биография и лучшие бои азербайджанца, статистика - MMAExpress |url=https://mma.express/fighters/bellator/tofiq-musayev |access-date=2022-12-27 |website=mma.express}}

Also, he did not forget about the Motherland, where little by little, MMA tournaments began to gain popularity among the audience and his talent blossomed when he refined his fighting style, which is based on his strong punches . In 2016, Musaev made his first trip to China, where he had a couple of performances before being spotted at the WFCA. And, it is worth recognizing, with the arrival of a newcomer to the organization, the light weight had found a new potential contender.{{Cite web |title=トフィック・ムサエフ - RIZIN FIGHTING FEDERATION オフィシャルサイト |url=https://jp.rizinff.com/_tags/%E3%83%88%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BB%E3%83%A0%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A8%E3%83%95 |access-date=2022-07-21 |website=jp.rizinff.com |language=en}}

Things were going well for Tofiq in Russia, in his debut he defeated Murad Shakhbaev, after which he went to Turkey for one fight, where he performed at the big Orion Fight Arena tournament, but then returned to the WFCA, as he planned to take the belt there. The next step for him was the meeting with Zurab Betergaraev, but the application for the status of the applicant was made in the confrontation with Marif Piraev.

Having sent him to a technical knockout already in the first round, Musaev waited for proposals from the promotion, but they never came. Not wanting to wait for the leadership's decision on the fight with the champion, the Azerbaijani responded to the call of another league, very famous in Japan - RIZIN Fighting Federation to sign him for their New Year's Eve event for 2018.

=RIZIN Fighting Federation=

Musayev made his RIZIN debut at Rizin 14 against Nobumitsu Osawa as the opening bout of the night. He won by TKO in the 2nd round, using ground and pound to finish the bout.{{cite web |title=Nobumitsu Osawa vs. Tofiq Musayev|url=https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/398883-rizin-14-tyson-nobumitsu-osawa-vs-tofik-musaev|website=Tapology |accessdate=26 May 2021}}

He was scheduled to face 13-fight UFC veteran and TUF: Live Team Faber contestant Daron Cruickshank at Rizin 16. He won by unanimous decision.{{cite web |title=Daron Cruickshank vs. Tofiq Musayev|url=https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/431662-rizin-16-detroit-superstar-daron-cruickshank-vs-tofik-musaev|website=Tapology |accessdate=26 May 2021}}

After his Grand Prix triumph, Musayev was approached by the UFC, but declined an offer as he waited for RIZIN to make a proposal. "We were approached from the UFC, made a concrete proposal. But at the moment we are waiting for a response from Rizin. If we are satisfied with their proposal, then we will remain in this organization and will defend the title. Otherwise, I go to the UFC."{{cite web |title=Tofiq Musayev discusses Rizin lightweight Grand Prix win, UFC offer|url=https://asianmma.com/tofiq-musayev-discusses-rizin-lightweight-grand-prix-win-ufc-offer/|website=Asian MMA |date=8 January 2020 |accessdate=26 May 2021}} Musayev confirmed in March 2020 that he will sign a new contract with RIZIN, despite offers from both the UFC and ONE. He stated "[RIZIN] respect[s] their fighters and try to give them everything so that they stay with them."{{cite web |title=Tofiq Musayev to sign new contract with Rizin|url=https://asianmma.com/tofiq-musayev-signs-new-contract-with-rizin/|website=Asian MMA |date=13 March 2020 |accessdate=26 May 2021}}

In September 2020, Musayev was called to join the army in light of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. He is a reserve lieutenant of the Ground Forces of the Azerbaijan Armed Forces, taking an active part in the front line from the first days of the war.{{cite web |title=RIZIN champ Tofiq Musayev and ex-ACA titlist Eduard Vartanyan on opposite ends of Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict|url=https://thebodylockmma.com/other/tofiq-musayev-eduard-vartanyan-armenia-conflict/|website=The Body Lock |date=4 November 2020 |accessdate=26 May 2021}}{{Cite web |title=Son dakika: Azerbaycan'da karma dövüş sporcusu Tofiq Musayev orduya katıldı |url=https://www.fotomac.com.tr/haberler/2020/09/30/son-dakika-azerbaycanda-karma-dovus-sporcusu-tofiq-musayev-orduya-katildi |access-date=2022-07-22 |website=Fotomaç}} The conflict ended in November after roughly 1 month of conflict and an Azerbaijani victory.

As the COVID-19 pandemic ensued and borders were shut, Musayev could not participate in RIZIN for the whole of 2020, and the first half of 2021. Fellow RIZIN lightweight, Roberto de Souza stated ahead of RIZIN.27 that the promotion should crown a new champion if Musayev cannot return.{{cite web |title=Roberto Satoshi calls for RIZIN interim belt if Tofiq Musayev doesn't return from war soon|url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/3/19/22339832/roberto-satoshi-rizin-interim-belt-tofiq-musayev-war|website=MMA Fighting|date=19 March 2021 |accessdate=26 May 2021}}
