Adam Fugitt
USA
Inconsistent ways continue
Fugitt lost to Islam Dulatov via KO (punches) at 4:06 of Round 1 at UFC 318 on Saturday in New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
This was a near-impossible spot for Fugitt against a high-level prospect. Entering as a +450 underdog, Adam kept things close for a handful of minutes before it all came crashing down. He ate a massive left hook from Dulatov which dropped him, before one big follow-up shot closed the lights for good. The 36-year-old Oregon native has now alternated losses and wins in his first five UFC bouts. He's nothing more than roster depth for a company which holds an event most every Saturday.

Bout with Dulatov set for 318
Fugitt will take on Islam Dulatov in a welterweight matchup at UFC 318 on July 19, Alex Behunin of MMA Mania reports.
ANALYSIS
This was a matchup originally scheduled for February, but Fugitt had a late-notice opponent change before eventually withdrawing himself. Now, fighting for the first time since a June 2024 victory over Josh Quinlan, Fugitt finds himself a big betting underdog against the debutante -- as large as +390 in some books. Dulatov is approximately a decade younger than Fugitt and has a two-inch height advantage, while Fugitt has an edge of two inches in reach. Dulatov will likely bring a wrestling-based attack to the table, which may be bad news for Fugitt, who sports a below-average takedown defense of 50 percent through four UFC fights.

Gets right back in win column
Fugitt defeated Josh Quinlan via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
In a fight in which neither man was able to separate from the other, give Fugitt credit for simply sticking with it. Quinlan definitely got the better of the action when both men were fresh in the early going, but Fugitt proved to be the better conditioned fighter. Over the course of the final ten minutes, Adam won the total strike battle by a 58-30 count, and that was enough to earn him the win in the eyes of two of the three judges. The 35-year-old Oregon native has alternated wins and losses in his first four UFC bouts.
