Picks up first-round stoppage Orolbai defeated Jack Hermansson via KO (punch) at 2:46 of Round 1 at UFC Qatar on Saturday.

Impact Orolbai, who was moving up a weight class, faced a fighter in Hermansson who was moving down, but the size disadvantage didn't make the least bit of difference. Orolbai came out aggressive and paid for it with a few jabs, but he eventually found a right hand that compromised his opponent. He found another massive right hand in his barrage of follow-up shots that turned Hermansson's lights out for good. Orolbai has now won four of five UFC fights, and he may have found a new home at 170 pounds.

Gets right back in win column Orolbai defeated Tofiq Musayev via submission (kimura) at 4:35 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Impact Orolbai is a brawler, but he's also a plenty underrated grappler, as Musayev found out here. Knowing full well the elite, fight-ending power his opponent possessed, Orolbai simply leaned on his wrestling game, going 3-of-5 on takedowns and racking up 3:40 worth of control time. He locked on the kimura perfectly and Musayev found himself tapping out moments later. It was a strong rebound performance from Orolbai on the heels of a split decision defeat to a quality opponent in Mateusz Rebecki last October.

Impact Orolbai's next opponent is from Azerbaijan, which may be why he is making his debut at UFC Baku on June 21. Though without UFC experience, the latter is 22-5 in his professional career, which indicates Orolbai will not have a clear-cut path to victory come late-June.
