Timeline
Kamal Shalorus (born 1972–1977) is an Iranian professional mixed martial artist who competed in the Lightweight division of the WEC, UFC, and ONE Championship.
Shalorus was born in an isolated rural community in northern Iran near Khalkhal.
He has stated the men of his family were shepherds and wrestlers, and conditions were harsh, with very little infrastructure and no modern facilities such as electricity, a hospital, or school.
Because of this, his birth was undocumented and he does not know his age.
He was instead given the birth certificate of an older brother who had passed away.
As such, several ages for Shalorus have been reported.
As a youth, Shalorus did well in wrestling and received the opportunity to train in Turkey, Greece, and eventually Britain, where he emigrated to in 1997.
In 2001, Shalorus won the British Senior Championships in freestyle wrestling at 85 kg (187 lbs).
It has been claimed by Shalorus and repeated by others that he was captain of the British wrestling team for the Olympics and world championships, specifically the 2004 Olympics.
In reality, only one British wrestler qualified for the 2004 Olympics: Nate Ackerman, and United World Wrestling has no record of Shalorus competing at the Olympics, world championships, or any other notable international competitions.
Shalorus has also competed in grappling tournaments.
He has a notable win over Joachim Hansen in the Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) European Trials.
Shalorus became interested in MMA when he cross-trained with fighters in Britain, including Lee Murray and Alex Reid.

He compiled a 4-0-1 record before being signed by WEC.
He was scheduled to make his WEC debut against Alex Karalexis on November 18, 2009 at WEC 44, but a broken hand forced Karalexis off the card.

Shalorus defeated previously unbeaten Dave Jansen via unanimous decision on January 10, 2010 at WEC 46.
Shalorus was expected to face former WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie Varner on April 24, 2010 at WEC 48, but Shalorus was forced off of the card with an injury.
Varner/Shalorus took place on June 20, 2010 at WEC 49.
The fight ended in a split draw (29–27 Varner, 29–27 Shalorus, and 28–28), with Shalorus being docked one point for multiple groin strikes.
Shalorus was expected to face Bart Palaszewski on November 11, 2010 at WEC 52, but the bout was moved to WEC 53 after Shalorus re-injured his hand that was broken during the bout with Varner.
Shalorus won the fight via split decision (30–27, 28–29, and 29–28).
In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
