Sergey Kulyaba (Ukrainian: Сергей Куляба, born on 31 October 1991) is a Ukrainian professional kickboxer who claimed the championship title in the 66kg category at the 2018 Kunlun Fight tournament.

By October 2017, Liverkick ranked him as the world's eighth-best lightweight competitor.

Martial arts career

Kulyaba began his professional journey in December 2012, securing a victory by decision against Aleksei Ulianov. Over the subsequent three years, he amassed a record of eight wins, three losses, and two draws, highlighted by a significant triumph over Bobo Sacko and a stalemate with Sak Kaoponlek. His inaugural championship arrived in 2015 when he won the four-man Partouche Kickboxing Tour, achieving knockouts against Samir Mohamed and Bertrand Lambert.

After this success, Kulyaba encountered a challenging period marked by three successive defeats to Kem Sitsongpeenong, Jomthong Chuwattana, and Chris Ngimbi. He then rebounded by capturing the 2016 Super Muaythai four-man tournament title with a TKO over Zhang Hu and a decision win against Sanpet. Subsequently, he won four out of five bouts, including an extra-round decision victory over Andrei Kulebin, before facing Thai icon Buakaw Banchamek at All Star Fight 2, where he was defeated by decision.

Despite dropping four of his following five contests, Kulyaba secured entry into the 2018 Kunlun Fight 66 kg Tournament. He emerged victorious against Jia Aoqi, Sun Zhixiang, and Gu Hui to claim the tournament championship.

In 2019, Kulyaba competed once, narrowly losing by split decision to Eddy Nait Slimani during a La Nuit des Champions 66 kg title match.
