Dennis Buzukja is a New York-bred boxer out of the famed Serra-Longo Fight Team, the gym that produced Matt Serra and Aljamain Sterling. His signature UFC moment came in March 2024, when he stepped in on short notice and knocked out Connor Matthews in the third round. Since then the results have gone the wrong way — a split-decision loss to Francis Marshall and a first-round knockout loss to Marcio Barbosa in April. At 28, with sharp hands and a 75 percent takedown defense rate, he has the tools to turn things around but badly needs a win to do it.
