Islam
Dulatov likes to keep his fights short.

Dulatov (12-1) is scheduled to take on Wellington
Turman (18-8) in his second appearance in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship since winning a contract on

Dana White’s Contender Series. He returns in a welterweight
matchup at
UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25 at Etihad Arena in Yas Island.

Islam Dulatov says his UFC Abu Dhabi game plan doesn’t require
studying Wellington Turman

Dulatov isn’t bothered by the fact that there isn’t much footage
available on Turman. „The Ripper“ is confident that he doesn’t need
to see Turman’s film to execute his game plan.

“Not that much footage of him,” Dulatov said in a recent interview.
“But he is the same person, he has the same chin, and he has the
same style he had before. If he learned some stuff it’s good for
him. But at the end of the day, for what I want to do with him, I
don’t need to see footage. I just want to knock him out.”

Dulatov vows to look for a first-round finish over Turman like he
always does. The surging 170-pounder jokingly claimed that until he
starts getting paid by the hour, he wants to finish fights as
quickly as possible.

“First round finish is the perfect performance for me,” Dulatov
added. “I don’t like to fight too much. I don’t get paid by
minutes. If the UFC starts paying me for rounds, maybe I’ll fight
three rounds. But right now, I think I’m good with first
round.”

Dulatov is a former model who has walked the ramp for the likes of
Versace, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss. He has finished all
12 of his wins, going past the first round only once since his lone
loss in his pro debut in 2019. The 27-year-old scored a first-round
knockout win over Adam Fugitt
in his UFC debut last year.

While Dulatov is based out of Germany, he recently announced that
he will be representing Turkey going forward. Meanwhile, Turman
will likely be fighting for his spot on the roster as he is 3-6 in
the UFC and currently on a three-fight slump.
