Islam Dulatov - Wellington Thurman: betting tip (cf 2.02) and bets on the fight


Command Analysis

Current form
Islam Dulatov vividly declared himself in the UFC already in the first match. A year ago, he entered the octagon against Adam Fugitt and left his opponent with virtually no chance, scoring a knockout victory in the opening round. In addition to the confident victory, the Russian received a bonus for the best performance of the evening. 27-year-old Dulatov has 14 wins and only one defeat. Moreover, he ended the meetings with a knockout nine times, and five more times forced his rivals to give up ahead of schedule with receptions. The only setback came in his very first professional fight — in 2016, 19-year-old Islam lost to Gioni Palokai by a judicial decision.
During his career, Dulatov managed to score several spectacular victories, including a lightning-fast submission over Will Chope, whom he forced to capitulate in just 30 seconds. A native of Chechnya, he holds a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and combines good wrestling with dangerous striking techniques.

Current form
Wellington Thurman approaches this fight with less convincing statistics. The Brazilian has three wins and six losses in the UFC, and the last time he entered the cage was back in 2023. Thurman then lost to Jared Gooden, losing with a backhand choke. At the same time, it cannot be said that the representative of Brazil is not dangerous at all. In the UFC, he managed to defeat Misha Zirkunov by submission, and also beat Sam Elvey and Marcus Perez by judges' decisions. The 39-year-old Thurman holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The Brazilian successfully fought in regional organizations before competing in the main global promotion, but he never got to a serious title race.

Tip and bets
In this confrontation, Dulatov looks like a clear favorite. Islam is younger, more active, has a more diverse arsenal and has already shown that it is capable of shutting down rivals at the highest level. Thurman remains dangerous due to his wrestling, but the prolonged absence of fights and problems with results in the UFC do not speak in his favor. If Dulatov is able to keep a comfortable distance and does not allow himself to be transferred to the floor, the Brazilian's chances will decrease rapidly. We expect that the Russian will continue his outstanding performance in the UFC and will once again take the victory ahead of schedule.
