American fighter with Albanian roots Dennis Buzukja said that UFC staff prohibited him from entering the fight with an Albanian flag.
Buzukja defeated Connor Matthews by technical knockout in the third round at UFC on ESPN 54 on the night of March 31.
It's crazy. Right before I was going to walk out, they came and told me I can't walk out with my flag because it had gold trim on it.

Buzukja, 26, last fought at UFC 295 in November 2023, losing to Jamall Emmers by TKO in the first round. He has 12 wins and four losses on his record.
