LAS VEGAS – Isaac Dulgarian’s record seems too good to be true to some, but Dulgarian assures he’s the real deal.

The featherweight prospect made his UFC debut this past Saturday at UFC on ESPN 51. He stopped his opponent Francis Marshall (7-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in the first round to further his impressive undefeated record with all first-round stoppages. To some, they may see it as luck, but not Dulgarian (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

“It showed that everything I’ve done to this point hasn’t been a fluke,” Dulgarian told reporters at the UFC on ESPN 51 post-fight news conference. “It hasn’t been a joke. I’m here. I’m ready to fight the best in the world, and I am one of the best in the world.”

Dulgarian not only wants to make sure people know his record is not pure luck, but he also wants to let his future rivals know that he’s game to go the distance.

“I don’t want to go three rounds, but I know there’s people in the world that can push me to three rounds,” Dulgarian said. “I’ll keep taking the first-rounders. I try to finish in the first round, always, but I just want people to know I’m going to stick around that whole fight – the whole 15 minutes.”

Dulgarian also thinks he’s being doubted by many, despite his promise.

“People say I haven’t had the toughest opponents, but if you look at anyone in the regional scene, they haven’t had the toughest opponents, either,” Dulgarian said. “People were saying I can’t go three rounds, and I proved I don’t necessarily have to. I can go three rounds with anyone in the world.”
