10 Welterweight Prospects the UFC Should Sign in 2022

Ramazan Kuramagomedov

24 | 6’0″ | Makhachkala, Russia | 9-0 | 6 Finishes | 1 KO/TKO, 5 Submission’s (Armbar, RNC, Von Flue Choke, Arm-triangle) | Combined Opponents’ Record: 67-24-3 | Best Win – Jordan Williams (8-2)

Kuramagomedov somehow is still fighting outside the UFC. He fought on the Contender Series in 2019 and beat Jordan Williams who is now in the UFC. He should’ve got a contract there but didn’t. He was signed last year to a fight on short notice. He pulled out and sadly his contract was pulled. Since that fight on the Contender Series, Kuramagomedov has won three more bouts and is still not in the UFC. It’s mind-blowing really.

Kuramagomedov is a fighter with few flaws. His defense all around is solid from his head movement to his footwork to good takedown defense. He has good kickboxing and mixes in strikes and kicks together very well. The Russian is an unpredictable but technical fighter with solid cardio. He’s well-rounded so he has good takedowns and is a dangerous threat on top. Kuramagomedov should easily be in the UFC already.
