Full Tilt with Ozzy Dugulubgov: RFL, fighting and coaching

Full in-depth exclusive interview with WSOF veteran and RFL owner, Ozzy Dugulubgov, above!
 
Born and raised in the Caucasus Mountains, Ozzy Dugulubgov transitioned to the United States at the mere age of 18 in search for a better life.  Born of a military driven family, Dugulubgov had the ultimate choice of following in the family footsteps and join the military or make a life for himself.
 
With a lasting memory of a tougher life, he’d be leaving behind, Dugulubgov set out on his “American Dream”.  Ultimately settling on the East Coast in New Jersey, Dugulubgov quickly got to work to ascend the lightweight rankings on a world stage in mixed martial arts.
 
He quickly rose through the rankings under the CFFC banner and finished his illustrious but short career with World Series of Fighting, just shy of a breakthrough fight with top ranked, Justin Gaethje.
 
Following untimely health concerns, Dugulubgov retired from professional fighting and now utilizes his wealth of martial arts knowledge to pass onto the next generation.  With UFC veterans such as “The Tarantula” Jalin Turner under his guidance, Dugulubgov’s lifetime of combat sports intuition is being spread throughout the world as he hosts seminars and welcomes athletes globally to his renowned Atreus Training Center.
 
Always looking to improve his surroundings, Dugulubgov noticed room for improvement in the amateur development of mixed martial artists. Thus, Revolt Fighting League was born. With the intention of providing evenly matched bouts with the utmost professional atmosphere, Ozzy Dugulubgov has spearheaded RFL to two successful shows that left fans thirsty for more. RFL will host their third installment in just under a year in a few weeks, December 17 when they have an all-grappling/BJJ event, highlighting some of the regions brightest young athletes to a broader stage.
 
Dugulubgov was kind enough to invite me to his home-gym, Atreus Training Center in Waldwick, NJ to bring you this exclusive one-on-one feature with the head of RFL, and former professional mixed martial artist, Ozzy Dugulubgov to delve into a deep conversation encapsulating all he and his fighters have accomplished. He details the goals he has for his brand, RFL and so much more!
