Check out my Fugitt vs Dulatov prediction for UFC 318 on Saturday, July 19.
Fuggit is 2-2 in the UFC and last fought in June 2024, when he beat Josh Quinlan. Dulatov is 11-1 as a professional but has won 11 straight ahead of this fight, his UFC debut.

Fugitt vs Dulatov Pick
Islam “The Ripper” Dulatov will make his official UFC debut on Saturday following a contract-earning performance on Contender Series, where he earned his 10th consecutive finish (nine in the first round). Dulatov is an aggressive and dangerous welterweight, but significant question marks surround his durability, cardio, and resilience in an extended fight.
Adam Fugitt is nine years his senior, and owns a 2″ reach advantage, but should get stuck on the back foot from the opening bell and will be forced to weather the storm.
However, despite his age, Fugitt has both excellent cardio and has been forced to execute similar gameplans in his two most recent fights – against aggressive early finishers Mike Malott and Josh Quinlan – to differing degrees of success.
Fugitt is extremely hittable (51% striking defense), and I’m concerned that there could be a significant gap in speed and athleticism between the two fighters. However, I would target Fugitt Live after Round 1 if he’s able to survive the early onslaught.
