Welterweight fighters Joaquin Buckley and Nursulton Ruziboev will compete at the UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Nascimento undercard. This event takes place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
Joaquin Buckley, fighting out of St. Louis, enhances the bout's local appeal. Coming off a recent TKO victory against Vicente Luque in March 2024, he aims to extend his winning streak. On the other side, Nursulton Ruziboev, hailing from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, also gained momentum with a TKO win over Sedriques Dumas on the same night as Buckley's last fight. Notably, Ruziboev typically competes in a higher weight class.
Given Ruziboev’s step down from middleweight to welterweight for this bout, both fighters might showcase different physical dynamics and strategies. With Buckley’s consistent performance in the welterweight division and Ruziboev's ability to handle heavier opponents, expect a compelling battle of endurance and technique.
