Il sort du Kudo \u2014 art martial de contact full-body peu connu en Occident \u2014 dont il d\u00e9tient la ceinture noire 1er dan. \u00c0 \u00e7a, il ajoute le titre de Ma\u00eetre du sport de Russie en MMA. Ce bagage, construit \u00e0 Novosibirsk dans la structure Storm Shlemenko (l&rsquo;acad\u00e9mie du l\u00e9gendaire Alexander Shlemenko), l&rsquo;a conduit au circuit professionnel en 2022.<\/p>\n<h3>De la Russie r\u00e9gionale \u00e0 Vegas : un parcours en acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9<\/h3>\n<p>En deux ans seulement, Pulyaev a aval\u00e9 les circuits russes \u00e0 une cadence soutenue \u2014 SFC, KMMAF, RCCM \u2014 accumulant 9 victoires dont 6 par KO ou TKO. L&rsquo;homme est gaucher, 1,93 m, envergure \u00e0 199 cm, et il se sert de ces centim\u00e8tres suppl\u00e9mentaires pour imposer une distance que peu de poids moyens g\u00e8rent facilement.<\/p>\n<p>Le 27 ao\u00fbt 2024, il d\u00e9barque au Dana White&rsquo;s Contender Series face \u00e0 l&rsquo;Am\u00e9ricain Liam Anderson. L\u00e9g\u00e8rement outsider au bookmaker, Pulyaev fait taire tout le monde en trois rounds de boxe dominants : frappes significatives quasiment doubl\u00e9es, Anderson ensanglant\u00e9 en fin de combat, d\u00e9cision unanime 30-27 sur les trois cartes. Contrat UFC sign\u00e9 dans la foul\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00c0 l&rsquo;UFC : 1-2, mais le bilan ne dit pas tout<\/h3>\n<p>Son entr\u00e9e dans l&rsquo;Octogone en mars 2025 est difficile : face \u00e0 Christian Leroy Duncan, il prend une d\u00e9cision unanime au bout de trois rounds sans jamais vraiment trouver son rythme. Mais d\u00e8s le combat suivant, le 3 ao\u00fbt 2025 (UFC Vegas 108), la r\u00e9ponse est imm\u00e9diate. Contre Nick Klein, il encaisse une premi\u00e8re reprise compliqu\u00e9e o\u00f9 Klein domine au sol. Au deuxi\u00e8me round, Pulyaev renverse la situation : head kick, genou bien plac\u00e9, une s\u00e9rie de frappes et Klein est arr\u00eat\u00e9 \u00e0 1:31. Premier TKO \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC, premi\u00e8re victoire dans la plus grande organisation du monde.<\/p>\n<p>En janvier 2026 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 324, il affronte Ateba Gautier et s&rsquo;incline de nouveau aux points. Record UFC : 1-2, mais deux des trois d\u00e9faites sont des d\u00e9cisions \u2014 pas un gars qu&rsquo;on envoie au tapis facilement.<\/p>\n<h3>La suite : Bakou, juin 2026<\/h3>\n<p>Le 27 juin 2026, Pulyaev retrouve l&rsquo;Octogone \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Baku face \u00e0 Nursulton Ruziboev. \u00c0 28 ans, record global de 10-4-0 et une exp\u00e9rience UFC qui se construit, il est exactement dans la phase o\u00f9 les combattants issus du circuit russe commencent \u00e0 trouver leurs rep\u00e8res dans le grand bain. Avec 60 % de ses victoires par finish, il n&rsquo;est jamais l\u00e0 juste pour faire le nombre.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/athlete\/andrey-pulyaev\">UFC.com<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/verdictmma.com\/fighter\/andrey-pulyaev\">VerdictMMA<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cagesidepress.com\/2025\/08\/02\/andrey-pulyaev-turns-it-around-in-round-2-scores-tko-victory\/\">CageSidePress<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrey Pulyaev, poids moyen UFC (10-4-0), ceinture noire de Kudo et Ma\u00eetre du sport russe en MMA.
