Myktybek Orolbai is a 28-year-old wrestler from Kyrgyzstan who has quickly become one of the welterweight division's most suffocating problems. His takedown numbers are absurd — nearly nine attempts landed per fifteen minutes, one of the highest rates in the UFC. After starting his UFC run at lightweight, he moved up and got even better, riding a four-fight win streak that includes a first-round knockout of longtime contender Jack Hermansson and a decision over veteran Chris Curtis. Thirteen of his sixteen wins are finishes, split almost evenly between knockouts and submissions. He trains with Team Alpha Male in Sacramento.
