DWCS Winner Artem Vakhitov Turns Down UFC Contract Offer
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 08: Artem Vakhitov of Russia prepares to face Islem Masraf of Algeria in ... More a light heavyweight fight during Dana White's Contender Series season eight, week nine at UFC APEX on October 8, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) When Artem Vakhitov's name appeared on a Dana White's Contender Series card in October 2024, fight fans raised their eyebrows. Vakhitov came to the DWCS with a stellar combat sports pedigree. The 33-year-old was a two-time Glory Kickboxing champion and a muay Thai world champion. He was also the fighter who former two-division UFC champion Alex Pereira lost to in his final Glory Kickboxing contest before Pereira moved to MMA full-time in 2021 after defeating Vakhitov earlier that same year. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 08: Artem Vakhitov of Russia punches Islem Masraf of Algeria in a light ... More heavyweight fight during Dana White's Contender Series season eight, week nine at UFC APEX on October 8, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Vakhitov scored a first-round TKO win during his DWCS appearance, stopping Islem Masraf at the 4:23 mark of Round 1. At the time of his win, I wrote of Vakhitov: "The main appeal of this fight was that Artem Vakhitov was the last man to defeat current UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira in a kickboxing match. Vakhitov did not have much to offer in the clinch, but when he was able to get distance on Islem Masraf, he showed his power and closed out the light heavyweight fight in the first round. 'I'm not sure if Vakhitov, with just four pro fights, none of which have left the first round, is ready for UFC competition yet, but he did what he needed to do on Tuesday night.' As for UFC CEO Dana White, he offered the following on Vakhitov: 'So, this was an interesting fight. (There was) More clinching than I expected, and you obviously got the job done, you got the finish, and I actually called Alex (Pereira, who was in attendance at the UFC Apex that night) with me to talk about this fight and your win. Obviously you have a ton of experience. You got like 30 pro fights, not including MMA, and Alex said you absolutely, positively deserve a shot in the UFC.' White's words brought a smile to Vakhitov's face that night. That smile did not last long. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 08: Artem Vakhitov of Russia reacts after a knockout victory against ... More Islem Masraf of Algeria in a light heavyweight fight during Dana White's Contender Series season eight, week nine at UFC APEX on October 8, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) 'I was elated when I won my fight in DWCS and got the contract,' Vakhitov told MMA Junkie in a written statement via a translator. 'Alex was ringside. We all talked afterwards, and it looked like the trilogy fight was a real possibility if I next went into the UFC and won a fight or two. '… Unfortunately, when it came time to make the UFC contract, it transpired that the UFC has very strict conditions regarding fighters who come through DWCS. According to UFC protocols, they were not able to offer me more than the standard contract offered to all fighters who progress through this show. … My team attempted to negotiate, but the UFC rules were strict, and no changes were possible.' From what we know from athletic commission disclosed UFC payouts, a DWCS contract usually starts with the fighter making $10,000 in show money with another $10,000 if they win their first fight under that deal. The pay increases from there. MMA Junkie added that the UFC can opt to use 'a clause the promotion can activate, which would automatically put a selected fighter on a 20-month, four-fight deal" when it comes to DWCS contracts. 'I do not wish to appear arrogant regarding this contract,' Vakhitov added. 'I understand they have their rules, and I respect that, but I am a prizefighter. I have daughters to provide for and a short window of opportunity. It would have been a great dream to enter the UFC, but I could not justify the loss of earnings this contract would represent. And so we had to respectfully decline. But all of our dealings were pleasant, and perhaps in the future we will talk again.'

More heavyweight fight during Dana White's Contender Series season eight, week nine at UFC APEX on October 8, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) 'The UFC position was that all fighters coming through Dana White Contender Series receive the same contract with standard terms and conditions,' Andrey Busygin told MMA Junkie in a written statement. 'Personally I felt this was unfair to Artem, given his achievements in combat sports and having the same level as Alex at the time he entered the UFC. But rules are rules. I understand.' 'We had to decline signing this agreement,' Busygin said. 'It's a shame, but there are no hard feelings. We respect their position, and they respect ours. We had very pleasant negotiations with (UFC chief business officer) Hunter (Campbell) and his team. We are disappointed, of course, that we now won't get the trilogy between Artem and Alex in the octagon, but we've moved on to other targets now. There is a huge fight coming up, so this trilogy fight will have to wait.' With the UFC no longer in the picture, Vakhitov is returning to Glory Kickboxing. His most recent contest for that promotion was a February 2023 defense of his heavyweight title against Pascal Touré. He won that fight via decision. Vakhitov earned the heavyweight belt in September with his decision win over Pereira. Pereira took the light heavyweight crown from Vakhitov in January 2021 with a split-decision win. Vakhitov faces Rico Verhoeven in the main event of Glory 100. That fight card takes place June 14 in the Netherlands. 'That's a fight I've always wanted,' Vakhitov said of Verhoven. 'I have been calling for that fight since 2017. Nobody wanted to fight Rico. They call him 'The King' because he has ruled that division for so long. But I really believed myself to be the best pound-for-pound kickboxer in Glory, and my opinion hasn't changed. Maybe the king is finally ready to meet the tsar.'

(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Despite moving on from the DWCS deal, Vakhitov's manager left the door open for a UFC deal in the future. 'We had to decline signing this agreement,' Busygin said. 'It's a shame, but there are no hard feelings. We respect their position, and they respect ours. We had very pleasant negotiations with (UFC chief business officer) Hunter (Campbell) and his team. We are disappointed, of course, that we now won't get the trilogy between Artem and Alex in the octagon, but we've moved on to other targets now. There is a huge fight coming up, so this trilogy fight will have to wait.' We will have coverage of Artem Vakhitov's Glory Kickboxing return when Glory 100 takes place.
