Myktybek Orolbai is part of the UFC welterweight division's deep end, fighting out of Kyrgyzstan — 19 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 8.8 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.
The form line is loud: 3 straight wins, the latest over Chris Curtis (Decision - Unanimous). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
Next up: Jeremiah Wells at UFC 330: Makhachev vs. Machado Garry on August 16, 2026. Circle the date.
