The next fight for Guram Kutateladze, a training partner of the Topuria brothers, is already set: he’ll be stepping into the octagon at UFC London on March 22. His opponent has been confirmed as Brazilian Kauê Fernandes. This upcoming bout presents an opportunity for the 33-year-old Kutateladze to continue growing in the company, especially considering his opponent has less experience, with a 1-1 record in the UFC. Kutateladze, on the other hand, is coming off a victory against Jordan Vucenic last August in Abu Dhabi, bringing his UFC record to 2-2. It’s worth remembering that he made a significant debut in the UFC with a win against Mateusz Gamrot, who was a formidable opponent from Poland.
Recent Activities and Training
Following his last fight, Kutateladze has been focused on recovery and has been instrumental in helping both Ilyia Topuria and Aleksandre in their respective training camps. He played a key role in both of their fight weeks, first in Abu Dhabi for Ilyia’s fight and then in Australia for Aleksandre’s. This close involvement highlights the strong bond and professional relationship within their training circle.
Training Base and Personal Life
As revealed in an interview, Guram has been living with Aleksandre in Alicante for months, where he has settled and trains at the Club Climent, run by brothers Jorge and Agustín Climent. This setup not only speaks to the camaraderie among the fighters but also indicates a strategic choice for Kutateladze’s career, aiming to capitalize on the training opportunities and environment that Alicante and the Climent brothers’ gym offer. With this background, his upcoming fight against Kauê Fernandes will be a test of his growth and readiness for higher challenges in the UFC.
