GrapplingStriking
Pulyaev is a tall Russian southpaw from Alexander Shlemenko's Storm team who earned his contract on the 2024 Contender Series. Six of his ten wins are knockouts, but he has been fed tough matchups — after stopping Nick Klein in August 2025, he lost a decision to prospect Ateba Gautier and was choked out by Nursulton Ruziboev in June 2026. Now 1-3 in the UFC, he faces an undefeated finisher in Damian Pinas looking to end the skid.
