Classify Blagoi Ivanov!!!

Very Talented Sambo Practicioner, he recently signed a contract with Bellator FC the second best MMA organization, even though their heavyweight division is not that good but this guy will make it, I think his next step will be StrikeForce or maybe UFC.

He even beat up Fedor Emelianenko.

Looks gypsy

I don't think so, I think he Looks Pontid/East Med with minor Alpine.

Plus there is no such thing as Gypsy look, what do gypsies look like, they vary, there are Grazile Med, Asian Alpine which is very common amongst them and Iranid influence and this guy has none of them.

Plus he is not even that dark, his skin tone is Olive skin tone which is very typical Balkanite thing

There is something gypoish about him in the 2nd and 3d pictures, but may be you are right and he`s no gypsy after all :-)

He doesn't look Bulgarian at all.

ok guys maybe he doesn't but at least Classify him and where would he fit best ?

Very robust CM/med mix, I think he would fit in Turkey and the Caucasus region most likely. Wouldn't look out of place in some areas of Greece though.
