Attila Végh (born August 9, 1985) is a Slovak[2] [3] mixed martial artist who competed in the Light Heavyweight divisions of Bellator Fighting Championships and Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW). He won the Bellator 2012 Summer Series Light Heavyweight Tournament and then the Bellator Light Heavyweight Championship. After losing it in his first defense, he was released from the promotion. A professional competitor since 2008, he has also competed for M-1 Global. Now coach of UFC fighters Ľudovít Klein and Martin Buday in Spartakus Fight Gym, Trnava.[4]
Végh was born on August 9, 1985, in Dunajská Streda, Slovakia. Growing up in Gabčíkovo he started wrestling at the age of 5 up until the age of 16 when he switched to Kempo Karate. He became a successful Kempo Karate practitioner and won a number of titles including one world title, one European title and won the Hungarian kempo karate championships in his division 14 times.[5]
Végh made his professional MMA debut in Slovakia in March 2008. For the first year of his career, he was undefeated with a record of 9 wins and no losses.
In May 2009, Végh debuted for the KSW promotion in Poland and encountered his first professional loss by decision to Lukasz Jurkowski. In February 2010, Végh had the most important bout in his life when he faced Aleksander Radosavljevic in the title match of Noc Skorpiona 6 (an MMA tournament held in Karlovac, Croatia), where he won by split decision in Round 3. This made him become European MMA champion under World Free Fight Association. This was the main reason why he got a contract with Bellator through his manager Zvonimir Brala later on.
Over the next three years, Végh continued fighting for various promotions all over Central Europe. Following the loss to Jurkowski, he added to his record with 15 more wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws. Notable wins include highly touted Marcus Vanttinen and Jonas Billstein.
In late 2011, it was announced that Végh had been signed by Bellator MMA to fight in their Light Heavyweight division.[6]
Végh made his Bellator debut in April 2012. He defeated Dan Spohn via split decision at Bellator 66.[7]
In the summer of 2012, Végh entered Bellator's Light Heavyweight tournament. In the opening round at Bellator 71, he faced Zelg Galesic and won via submission a minute into the first round.[8] Végh faced Emanuel Newton in the semifinals at Bellator 72.[9] He won the fight via controversial split decision. He faced Travis Wiuff in the tournament finals at Bellator 73 on August 24, 2012. Végh won in impressive fashion, getting a KO victory just 25 seconds into the first round. With the win, he earned the chance to face Bellator Light Heavyweight World Champion Christian M'Pumbu at Bellator 91 on February 28, 2013. He won the Bellator Light Heavyweight Championship belt via unanimous decision.
Végh was expected to face Emanuel Newton in a rematch at Bellator 106, but pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Muhammed Lawal.
Végh faced Interim Bellator Light Heavyweight champion Emanuel Newton in a title unification bout at Bellator 113 on March 21, 2014.[10] He lost the fight via split decision.
On August 25, 2014, Végh was released from Bellator, along with twelve other fighters.[11]
Végh signed with M-1 and fought against Viktor Nemkov at the M-1 Challenge 71 on 21 October 2016. He lost via unanimous decision.[12]
