"The first real action came early, with Bujło opening the fight by chopping at Freeman's lead leg. Both spent the opening minutes trading low kicks in a cautious feeling-out process. Freeman did time one of Bujło's kicks with a clean straight and followed it by going high with his signature head kick. He mixed in rear-leg body kicks as well, giving Bujło different looks, but overall both men stayed patient and threw single strikes at a time."
"In round three, Freeman opened with a kick but slipped, allowing Bujło to briefly fall into his guard. Just as it looked like something might finally happen, Freeman scrambled right back to his feet and landed a right hand. From there, the fight returned to the same pattern-both hanging out at kickboxing range, barely engaging. Freeman did land the more impactful shots when he chose to open up, showing more explosiveness and slightly higher output,"
Denzel Freeman defeated Marek Bujlo by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) after three cautious rounds in Doha. Both heavyweights were making UFC debuts; Bujlo entered undefeated at 6-0 while Freeman was a former LFA heavyweight champion. Round one featured leg chops and low kicks, with Freeman landing a clean straight followed by a head kick. Round two remained low-paced with sporadic low kicks and little separation. In round three Freeman briefly slipped then scrambled to land a right hand, but the bout returned to kickboxing range. Freeman showed slightly higher output and more explosive strikes overall.
