Throughout the short contest, Ruziboev was aggressive looking for chokes on the mat. Eventually, he got it, and made the most of it with an impressive squeeze that had Pulyaev\u2019s eyes rolling to the back of his head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">With the victory, Ruziboev (37-9-2, 2 NC) adds to his win streak, that includes victories over Dustin Stoltzfus and Eric McConico. The 32-year-old has quietly put together a 5-1 promotional record, with the lone loss coming to Joaquin Buckley in a welterweight bout at UFC St. Louis in May 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nursulton Ruziboev is having quite the time since returning to the UFC\u2019s middleweight division.
