Taking on Stoltzfus
Ruziboev will take on Dustin Stoltzfus in a middleweight bout at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ruziboev will look to make it two straight victories. In his last bout, he disposed of Eric McConico via right hook in the second round. That pushed his UFC record to 3-1, a very solid start within the promotion. His opponent, meanwhile, desperately needs a win, as Stoltzfus sits at 3-5 in the promotion despite winning his last bout.

Gets right back in win column
Ruziboev defeated Eric McConico via TKO (punches) at 0:33 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
When we last saw Ruziboev last May, he was dropping a unanimous decision to Joaquin Buckley, which doesn't seem like a very big deal these days. He got the chance to rebound here against the debuting McConico and took full advantage. Neither man did much of anything in Round 1, but Ruziboev managed to pick up two knockdowns and the stoppage in the 33 seconds which Round 2 lasted. Ruziboev is closing in on 50 professional fights despite the fact he turned just 31 years of age last November. He improves to 3-1 with the UFC.

Fighting McConico in Seattle
Ruziboev will take on Eric McConico at UFC Seattle on February 22, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Ruziboev will be McConico's first test in UFC when they square off in Seattle. The 6-foot-5 fighter from Uzbekistan will take a height and reach advantage into the bout. With a combined professional record on 32-2 in KO/TKO and submission finishes, Ruziboev will undoubtedly be hoping for an early finish against McConico.

No longer fighting at UFC 308
Ruziboev withdrew from his scheduled fight against Rinat Fakhretdinov at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The reason for Ruziboev's withdrawal is unknown, but he will now have to wait a little while longer for his chance to redeem himself after losing to Joaquin Buckley during his most recent fight in May. Carlos Leal will take Ruziboev's place against Fakhretdinov.

Fighting in October
Ruziboev will fight Rinat Fakhretdinov at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE on Oct. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ruziboev is coming off his first UFC lost back in May to Joaquin Buckley via unanimous decision, so he'll get the chance to redeem himself and keep a winning record in Abu Dhabi. The middleweight from Uzbekistan holds a 2-1 UFC record, but he is an experienced fighter with a professional record of 34-9-2.
