Itso Babulaidze stepped into the Squared Circle for the first time as the Ring of Combat’s welterweight champion. Born in Georgia and fighting out of Philly, Babulaidze held a 5-0 professional MMA record before fighting Bryan McDowell at KnuckleMania V. 

With a well-rounded MMA game and some grappling chops that we now know go a long way in BKFC, expect Babulaidze to be a challenge to any middleweight on the BKFC roster! He holds wins by all three major methods in MMA (KO, submission & decision.)
