Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Islam Dulatov — "The Ripper" to fight fans — has built a 12-1 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Germany's regional scene.
On the feet he's a problem: 8.78 significant strikes a minute at 56% accuracy, and 67% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Adam Fugitt, KO/TKO (Punch) R1. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
Next up: Wellington Turman at UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Guskov on July 25, 2026. Circle the date.
