Prediction: Islam Dulatov via TKO<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Islam’s got that clean, confident striking style that just flows. There\u2019s no wasted movement, no overcommitting\u2014he stays sharp, smooth, and precise. And when he smells blood? He doesn\u2019t go wild\u2014he goes surgical<\/em>. That kind of killer instinct, paired with the control he shows when finishing, is rare at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fugitt\u2019s issue here is going to be the exact thing that Dulatov thrives on: defensive gaps. Fugitt likes to use his size, likes to come forward, and lean into that pressure-heavy approach\u2014but you can’t just walk down a guy like Dulatov. If your hands aren’t up, your head movement’s not tight, you’re getting sniped. That kind of pressure without precision is going to get punished hard here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dulatov\u2019s style is built to dismantle someone like Fugitt. You march forward without layers? You get timed. Fugitt has shown toughness, sure, but that\u2019s not enough against someone this accurate. Unless he can get Dulatov to the ground and hold him there\u2014and I mean early\u2014I just don\u2019t see a real win condition for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prediction: Islam Dulatov via TKO Islam’s got that clean, confident striking style that just flows.
