Lauderdale featherweight commenced his pro career with 14 straight triumphs, including ten by KO or submission.

Ukwengeza, the former Hungarian Fight Championship Featherweight kingpin has fought only 41 rounds since turning professional in Aug. 2014, an average of only 2.3 per outing.

Following a second-round destruction of “The Ultimate Fighter: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber” standout Saul Rogers via rear-naked choke at Bellator mma 257, the three-time BELLATOR MMA veteran returned to the cage less than four months later and upset Emmanuel Sanchez via three-round unanimous decision (29-28 futhi 30-27 kabili) in a non-stop battle at Bellator mma 263 on July 31, 2021, in Los Angeles.
