UFC St Louis India Time, Fight Card and Preview

08 May 2024

This Saturday, the UFC makes its second appearance at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, home to notable figures like Sterling K. Brown, Randy Orton, and Taylor Momsen. The previous event in "The Gateway City" featured a thrilling Fight of the Night bout between Jeremy Stephens and Dooho Choi in 2018, setting the stage for a memorable year ahead.

This time, twelve pairs of athletes are set to compete before a packed house, including local talents, promising prospects, and a compelling heavyweight main event. In the headline bout, perennial contender Derrick Lewis takes on rising Brazilian Rodrigo Nascimento.

Lewis, in his 11th year with the UFC, aims to rebound from a decision loss in his last fight. Known for his knockout power, Lewis faces Nascimento, riding a three-fight winning streak, in what promises to be a clash of styles—striker versus grappler.

In the co-main event, local welterweight Joaquin Buckley squares off against Nursulton Ruziboev, who makes his divisional debut. Buckley, coming off impressive wins, seeks to defend his position in the rankings against the formidable Ruziboev, known for his string of stoppage victories.

The transition to welterweight for Ruziboev adds intrigue to the matchup, given his imposing stature. The outcome of this fight will determine whether the locals or the visiting fighter will prevail in this exciting night of UFC action in St. Louis.
