A light heavyweight main event, unbeaten prospects, and heavyweight power collide at Etihad Arena — time to lock in your bracket.
On Saturday, July 25, 2026, the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi hosts UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Guskov. From a light heavyweight headliner to a stack of unbeaten names and heavyweight bangers, this card is built for arguing. Who’s the pound-for-pound pick on paper, and where does the debate actually get spicy? Let’s break it down and get you ready to build your bracket.
Magomed Ankalaev (21-2-1) of Russia leads the card against Bogdan Guskov (18-3-1) of Uzbekistan at light heavyweight. On the record sheet, Ankalaev is the cleaner resume: just two losses and a single draw across 24 fights, one of the tightest ledgers in the division. Guskov brings 18 wins of his own and a hungry challenger’s angle — every headline slot is a chance to rewrite where he sits in the rankings. The fan question here is simple: does Ankalaev’s polished, low-loss body of work carry the night, or does Guskov force the upset that reshuffles the light heavyweight picture? This is the pick everyone will fight about first.
Steve Erceg (14-4-0) of Australia meets Ramazan Temirov (19-3-0) of Uzbekistan at flyweight, and this is a stylistic riddle. Temirov owns the gaudier record — 19 wins to Erceg’s 14 — but Erceg has been tested at the sharp end of the division. Do you trust the volume of victories, or the level of opposition? That tension makes this one of the trickiest boxes to fill on the sheet.
Here’s the one for the purists: two spotless records collide. Magomed Zaynukov (8-0-0) of Russia faces Damian Rzepecki (10-0-0) of Poland at lightweight, and one of these zeros disappears in Abu Dhabi. Rzepecki carries the longer unbeaten run at 10-0, while Zaynukov’s 8-0 is just as clean. There’s no history to lean on here — pure momentum against pure momentum. If you love calling coin-flips, this is your fight.
The big men bring two very different puzzles. Rizvan Kuniev (13-3-1) of Russia takes on Tyrell Fortune (18-3-0) of the USA, where Fortune’s 18-win ledger stacks up against Kuniev’s grind. In the opener, Valter Walker (15-1-0) of Brazil — a single career loss to his name — meets Thomas Petersen (11-4-0) of the USA. Walker’s tidy 15-1 record makes him the paper favorite of the pairing, but heavyweight is the division where one clean shot flips every prediction. Fill these boxes with your gut on the line.
At welterweight, Islam Dulatov (12-1-0) of Germany, riding a near-spotless record, faces the seasoned Wellington Turman (18-8-0) of Brazil — youth and a clean sheet against a fighter who’s simply been everywhere. And in an all-Russia welterweight clash, Abubakar Vagaev (24-4-0) meets Saygid Izagakhmaev (22-3-0), two of the busiest records on the whole card colliding — 24 wins against 22. That’s a countrymen showdown with serious volume behind both names.
Three threads run through the night: unbeaten records on the line (Zaynukov, Rzepecki, and near-perfect Dulatov and Walker), records-versus-resume debates (Erceg-Temirov, Kuniev-Fortune), and the headline stakes of Ankalaev’s low-loss ledger against Guskov’s challenge. Every one of them is a fresh argument with your friends.
