"I scout talent every day, so when the UFC signs someone I've never heard of, it's an immediate red flag. Bujło is a Polish heavyweight who has cruised to six straight first-round finishes, but the opposition has been extremely weak-his opponents are a combined 25-46, and not a single one has a winning record. He's a BJJ black belt and relies heavily on that grappling edge, but given the level of competition, it's hard to gauge what that belt actually means in practice."
"Tape is limited, but the pattern is consistent: clinch entries, leverage-based trips, and immediate work from top position. His jiu-jitsu looks clean-he floats to dominant positions, lands short elbows, and hunts submissions-but most of his finishes come less from technique and more from opponents shelling up. We still don't know how he looks when someone pushes back. There are simply too many unknowns to make a confident assessment: What happens if he can't hit his takedowns? Can he strike at all?"
Marek Bujilo and Denzel Freeman are scheduled to debut opposite one another at UFC Qatar. Marek Bujilo is 32, 6'4, 265 lbs, fights out of Elk, Poland, trains at Dragon's Den Fight Club, and holds a 6-0 pro record with three KOs and three submissions. Denzel Freeman is 34, 6'1, 260 lbs, fights out of Colorado Springs, trains at Pound 4 Pound Muay Thai, and holds a 6-1 pro record with four KOs and one submission. Bujło's six first-round finishes came against opponents with a combined 25-46 record. Bujło relies on BJJ, clinch entries, trips, and top control, but concerns include the quality of opposition, uncertain striking, takedown reliability, and limited evidence of cardio beyond short fights.
