UFC Career
Freeman made his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs Hooker, beating Marek Bujlo by unanimous decision after three full rounds. Then came UFC 324 and Josh Hokit, who stopped him by KO/TKO at 4:59 of round 1.
He enters his next fight on a one-fight losing streak.
Fighting Style
Denzel Freeman is a selective striker rather than a busy one. He throws and lands at a lower rate than most UFC fighters, but he connects with a high share of what he throws, and he takes less punishment than most along the way.
He rarely looks to grapple. He seldom shoots for takedowns and almost never hunts for submissions, so his fights are built almost entirely around striking.
His UFC record is 1-1. The win came by decision, and the loss was a knockout or TKO, so there is no finishing pattern to read yet.
