Islam Dulatov, a former Versace model, is set to return to the Octagon on July 25 for his second fight in the UFC, facing Brazilian fighter Wellington Turman at UFC Abu Dhabi. Dulatov made a strong impression in his debut, scoring a knockout against veteran Adam Fugitt just days before a GQ photoshoot. The matchup against Turman, who has not fought since December 2023 and is on a three-fight losing streak, has sparked criticism among MMA fans regarding its fairness. Many believe that the UFC is setting Dulatov up for an easier fight following his impressive debut. Predictions for the bout include expectations of another quick victory for Dulatov. The UFC Abu Dhabi event will also feature other significant matchups, including a main event between Magomed Ankalaev and Khalil Rountree Jr., as well as a co-main event featuring Umar Nurmagomedov against David Martinez.
