Mikhail Zayats is a Russian mixed martial artist competing in the light heavyweight division. He is a Russian Master of Sport in Sambo and holds a black belt in jiu-jitsu.

 

After compiling a 13-4 record under M-1, Zayats fought then-champion Vinny Magalhaes for the M-1 Light Heavyweight Championship at M-1 Challenge 27. He would come up short to Magalhaes, losing via TKO in the third round.
