2019–2020[edit]
Bayramov made his international freestyle debut aged 18 at the 2019 U23 European Championships, where he lost his first match to place 11th.[8] Despite his placement at the European Championships, Bayramov was able to claim the U23 World Championship after four victories, becoming a three–time non–senior World and Olympic Champion.[9] In 2020, he placed third at the prestigious Yasar Dogu International.[10]
2021[edit]
To start off the Olympic year, Bayramov placed third at the Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane, only losing to World Championship silver medalist from the United States James Green.[11] A month later, he placed third at the Ukrainian Memorial, notably defeating US Open champion Joseph McKenna and Junior World Champion Erik Arushanian.[12] In April, Bayramov moved up to 70 kilograms and claimed a silver medal from the European Championships, losing to Israil Kasumov in the finale.[13]
On August 5, Bayramov moved up to 74 kilograms and competed at the Summer Olympics, where after a win over Vasyl Mykhailov from Ukraine, he was downed by two-time World Champion Frank Chamizo Italy to place eight.[14] He was able to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics as Khadzhimurad Gadzhiyev was not able to compete due to injury.[15]

He won the gold medal in his event at the Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series 2022 held in Rome, Italy.[16] He competed in the 74 kg event at the 2022 World Wrestling Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia.[17]

He won one of the bronze medals in the men's 74 kg event at the 2024 European Wrestling Championships held in Bucharest, Romania.[18] He competed at the 2024 European Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan, and advanced to the semifinals, where he met two-time World champion Frank Chamizo.[19] After a controversial call at the end of the match, which gave Bayramov the victory, he earned a quota to represent Azerbaijan at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[20] Weeks after the tournament, the refereeing body that officiated the match were suspended by the UWW, however, the result could not be changed.[21]
