Levan Chokheli reportedly faces Islam Dulatov at UFC Saudi
\nArabia after 23-second debut win<\/h2>\n

Dulatov (12-1) earned his UFC contract on
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> in 2024. He knocked out Adam Fugitt<\/a>
\nin his promotional debut in July 2025, dropping the American with a
\nleft hook before finishing him with follow-up punches at 4:06 of
\nthe first round.<\/p>\n

Chokheli (15-3, 1 NC) also enters the matchup following a
\nfirst-round stoppage in his UFC debut. The Georgian welterweight
\nneeded just 23 seconds to stop Leon
\nShahbazyan<\/a> in June.<\/p>\n

The promotion has not announced a headliner for UFC Saudi Arabia,
\nthough Israel
\nAdesanya<\/a> vs. Sharabutdin
\nMagomedov<\/a> has been reported as the targeted main event.<\/p>\n
