Tyrell Fortune

Tyrell Fortune, an American heavyweight with an 18-3-0 record (2 NC) and currently ranked ninth in the division, competes out of an orthodox stance. Fortune is a control-oriented grappler who relies on consistent takedown pressure rather than striking volume or knockout power.

Over his career, he lands 2.00 strikes per minute with 50% accuracy while absorbing 3.13 strikes per minute and defending 57% of incoming strikes. His wrestling forms the foundation of his game: Fortune averages 3.00 takedowns per 15 minutes with 60% accuracy and an impressive 100% takedown defense rate.

Most notably, he has not recorded a submission across his professional tenure, indicating a reliance on positional control and ground-and-pound rather than submission hunting. Fortune's recent victory came against Marcin Tybura on March 28, 2026, via unanimous decision over three rounds, demonstrating his ability to control high-level opposition for extended periods.

His cardio score of 55.2 reflects moderate conditioning, which may limit his effectiveness in high-pace exchanges. Fortune remains a fixture in the heavyweight top ten through wrestling-based attrition and defensive solidity rather than spectacular finishes.
