Reported prose from our newsroom. Wrestle-grinder

Myktybek Orolbai is 5-1 in the UFC through six fights. He debuted on Nov. 18, 2023.

He beat Elves Brener by unanimous decision in a lightweight bout on May 4, 2024. His only loss on record came on Oct. 26, 2024, a split decision to Mateusz Rebecki at a catchweight.

Three wins have followed. Orolbai submitted Tofiq Musayev in the first round at a catchweight on June 21, 2025, then knocked out Jack Hermansson in the first round on Nov. 22, 2025, in a welterweight bout.
