Sergey Kulyaba (Ukrainian: Сергей Куляба, born October 31, 1991) is a Ukrainian kickboxer. He is the winner of the 2018 Kunlun Fight 66kg tournament.
As of 17 October 2017[update], he was ranked the #8 lightweight in the world by Liverkick.[1]
Martial arts career
Kulyaba made his professional debut in December 2012, against Aleksei Ulianov, winning by decision. In the following three years, he went on a 8-3-2 run, achieving a notable victory over Bobo Sacko and a draw with Sak Kaoponlek.[2][3] His first career title came in 2015, when he won the 2015 four man Partouche Kickboxing Tour tournament,[4] knocking out Samir Mohamed and Bertrand Lambert.
Kulyaba then entered the worst run of form in his career up to that point, losing three fights in a row to Kem Sitsongpeenong, Jomthong Chuwattana and Chris Ngimbi.[5] Following these losses, he participated in the 2016 Super Muaythai four man tournament, defeating Zhang Hu by TKO in the semifinals and Sanpet by decision in the final.[6] Kulyaba won four of his next five fights, including an extra round decision win against Andrei Kulebin, before fighting the highest profile bout of his career, taking on Buakaw Banchamek at All Star Fight 2.[7] He was unable to overcome the Thai legend, as Buakaw won a decision.[8]
Despite the poor run of form following this fight, during which Kulyaba lost four of his five fights, Kulyaba was nonetheless given a chance to fight in the 2018 Kunlun Fight 66 kg Tournament. He defeated Jia Aoqi in the quarterfinal, Sun Zhixiang in the semifinal and Gu Hui in the final bout to take the tournament title.[9][10]
Kulyaba fought just once in 2019, a failed title bid for Eddy Nait Slimani's La Nuit des Champions 66 kg title, as Slimani won the fight by split decision.[11]
