Islam Dulatov is heading into his next UFC bout with a simple plan: end it early. The rising fighter, who prefers brief nights in the cage, is scheduled to face Wellington Turman in what will be his second appearance for the promotion after earning a UFC contract.
Ahead of the matchup, Dulatov made it clear that he is not overcomplicating his preparation. His comments suggest he is less concerned with deep film study and more focused on imposing his own style, with a knockout serving as the clear objective.
That approach fits the image Dulatov is building in the UFC. With a 12-1 record, he appears determined to keep momentum on his side by delivering another decisive performance rather than getting pulled into a long, tactical fight.
Turman, who enters with an 18-8 mark, gives Dulatov an experienced opponent for this stage of his UFC run. The matchup sets up as a test of whether Dulatov can turn his aggressive mindset into another fast finish inside the Octagon.
