Artiom Cula Xtreme Couture Welterweight Prospect
Artiom Cula stands six feet tall in the desert haze of Las Vegas, training under Xtreme Couture as he carves an unexpected path through mixed martial arts. With an 11-and-5 record and the nickname AKULA, Cula has climbed to the number 402 spot in the North America welterweight rankings. He is ranked only in regions where he has fought at least twice in his last six bouts, a list that includes the broader North America region plus the US Midwest and Iowa subregions.
Though his last two fights found him competing at both welterweight and middleweight, Cula has met the criteria to appear on multiple divisional leaderboards. He may not carry a title belt yet, but his adaptability across weight classes and willingness to chase opportunity in different corners of the continent suggest a fighter building substance beyond hype. From his base in Las Vegas Cula personifies the journeyman spirit that powers the city’s gyms and quietly roots for a breakthrough on a bigger stage.
