vs Wellington Turman emphatic UFC Fight Night Ankalaev vs Guskov Full Card Preview & Predictions · July 19, 2026
strikingsolid grapplinggood

He rules out any route for the opponent ("don't really see a path") and closes on a flat, decisive pick for Dulatov.

Nimble on his feet with crisp straight punches, a high output, knees mixed in, and a deep kicking toolbox covering teeps and leg kicks. His grappling matches that level, built around stuffing takedowns, a submission game and strong control once on top. The only knock is an occasional tendency to charge forward throwing in bunches, which the analyst doesn't see mattering against this opponent.

He expects Dulatov to look clean on the feet and stop enough takedowns to control the fight, calling it a likely 'clinic' in his debut; the only hedge offered is about betting value at -575, not about who wins.

A light-footed, high-volume striker whose best weapons are his kicks and knees, who likes to rush forward in combination and has added real grappling over time: a good sprawl, a choke arsenal off it, and solid top control. The analyst says the forward rush can also expose him to a counter. He is returning from a long layoff (this exact matchup was booked once before and he had to withdraw) and the analyst calls him still developing as a relatively new pro.
