A planned middleweight matchup between Islam Dulatov and Wellington Turman has fallen apart, with the bout officially cancelled as of July 25, 2026. No replacement contest has been announced for either fighter.
Dulatov, nicknamed "The Ripper," carries a 12-1-0 record and represents Germany out of Triple One Gym. The 27-year-old stands six-foot-three with a 75-inch reach and fights out of an orthodox stance. His numbers inside the cage are striking — he lands an eye-catching 8.78 significant strikes per minute at 54 percent accuracy, and he adds 2.2 takedowns per 15 minutes to his offensive arsenal.
On the other side, Wellington "The Prodigy" Turman is a 30-year-old Brazilian fighting out of Teixeira MMA and Fitness. He holds an 18-8-0 record and brings balanced two-dimensional pressure to his bouts, averaging 3.23 significant strikes per minute at 51 percent accuracy while mixing in 1.55 takedowns per 15 minutes and 0.8 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Dulatov's aggressive striking volume made this a high-profile matchup, and his path forward is now uncertain
- Turman, a veteran of 26 professional bouts, will need a new opponent to maintain his momentum in the division
- No replacement fight has been announced for either competitor, leaving both men without a scheduled date
