Andrey Pulyaev

Andrey Pulyaev is a 27-year-old Russian southpaw middleweight with a 10-4-0 professional record who operates as a volume striker with moderate finishing power. Standing 6'4" with a 78-inch reach, Pulyaev lands 3.84 strikes per minute at 56% accuracy while absorbing 3.14 per minute and defending 55% of incoming strikes—a balanced offensive output paired with respectable durability.

His grappling remains largely undeveloped, averaging just 0.29 takedowns per 15 minutes at 16% accuracy, though he defends takedowns at a solid 64% rate. Pulyaev's 9.1 knockout score reflects genuine finishing capability, evident in his second-round TKO of Nick Klein in August 2025.

However, recent form has stalled: he dropped consecutive unanimous decisions to Christian Leroy Duncan (March 2025) and Ateba Gautier (January 2026), bookending a decision win over Liam Anderson. With a 2-2 record over his last four fights, Pulyaev must address consistency issues and improve his striking efficiency to remain competitive in the middleweight division.
