Sultanakhmedov's only fight in 2007 was an appearance in the Hero's promotion in their 2007 Korea event, where he faced Eun Soo Lee. Lee had to cut 44 lbs. to make weight for the fight. During the bout, after dropping Lee with a low kick, Sultanakhmedov took the fight to the mat and effectively utilized ground-and-pound to achieve a TKO victory.

In 2008, Sultanakhmedov joined the Dream promotion to compete in their 2008 Middleweight Grand Prix, beginning at Dream 2. His opponent was the Croatian, Zelg Galesic, who was regarded as the more refined and powerful striker. Sultanakhmedov was defeated by armbar 100 seconds into the first round.

In 2010, Sultanakhmedov competed in the M-1 Global Eastern European Middleweight tournament, where he went undefeated. He achieved victories over both Pavel Kusch and Dibir Zagirov via knockout, which took him into the final where he faced Alexei Belyaev.
