UFC Nashville: Sean Woodson Gets Dennis Buzukja as 4th Replacement
Despite multiple changes of opponent, Sean Woodson will stay on UFC Nashville card and face Dennis Buzukja, who will become his fourth different opponent on the card.
Marcel Doff reported that Dennis Buzukja will debut against Sean Woodson at UFC Nashville this Saturday in a featherweight bout.
Sean Woodson was first set to face Steve Garcia at the UFC Nashville event, but Garcia withdrew from the fight. Jesse Buttler was scheduled to be Garcia’s replacement, but he also withdrew from the fight because of a protocol issue related to the knockout he experienced against Jim Miller at UFC Vegas 74.
