Dennis Buzukja topped off an remarkable efficiency with a declaration surface for his veryfirst UFC triumph.
On the prelims of UFC on ESPN 54 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., Buzukja (12-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) closed the program versus the debuting Connor Matthews by landing a gorgeous left hook on the temple.
The shot triggered Matthews (7-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to fall to the canvas, and the follow-up punches from Buzukja led to a TKO interruption at 0: 22 of Round 3.

The 3rd time was the beauty for Buzukja, who dropped his veryfirst 2 UFC getaways. His veryfirst win in the promo will be one he won’t quickly forget, as it came close to his hometown of Staten Island, N.Y.
