Scheduled for welterweight fight
MiddleweightUFC
April 24, 2024
Ruziboev is scheduled to compete against Joaquin Buckley in a welterweight fight at UFC St. Louis on May 11, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ruziboev will move down a weight class from middleweight to fight a welterweight Buckley in his hometown. While the bout does impose high risk for the former, it is also a high reward. Buckley is No. 11 in the UFC's welterweight rankings, so Ruziboev defeating the American, in his hometown no less, would certainly get the ball rolling in terms of him entering one of the UFC's division standings.

ANALYSIS
Ruziboev has to worry about his win being changed to a no-contest upon a certain forthcoming appeal from Dumas and his team, but he again looked terrific for as long as the action lasted. Ruziboev was dominating the striking exchanges between the two, but it appeared as if a rake of the eyes led to the start of the sequence which resulted in the finish.

Ruziboev defeated Brunno Ferreira via KO (punches) at 1:17 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was quite a performance from a guy that agreed to this fight about 10 days ago, replacing Abdul Razak Alhassan (undisclosed). A veteran of nearly 50 professional fights, Ruziboev caught a Ferreira kick in the early going and responded with shot right down the middle which floored the Brazilian. A few strikes later, this one was over. Still just 29 years of age, Ruziboev has fought for countless different promotions throughout the years, all over the globe. We'll see if he can keep up the success at the highest level, but this was undoubtedly a good start.
