Zach Scroggin bio
Personal background
Zach Scroggin is an American UFC fighter listed in the middleweight division who reached the promotion after an undefeated regional run, fighting out of Edgerton, Kansas. Born on March 9, 1996, Scroggin is a long, rangy competitor – 6'3" with a 74-inch reach – who built his game at Marathon MMA under head coach and former UFC fighter Trey Ogden. He combines that frame with real grappling credentials, holding a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and pairs it with heavy, finishing power on the feet. After going a perfect 8-0 as an amateur and earning a No. 1 regional ranking, he carried that momentum straight into a pro career defined by aggression and finishes.
Path to the UFC
Scroggin turned professional in December 2021 under the Fighting Alliance Championship (FAC) banner in the Midwest, and he never lost there. He opened with a split-decision win over Skyler Hicks at FAC 11, then rattled off four straight stoppages: strikes over Jordan Donais, a leg-kick-and-punch finish of Keyth Dawson, a TKO of Jeremiah Curtright, and a first-round arm-triangle submission of Josh Tully in 2023. He kept rolling into 2024 with a quick rear-naked choke of Josh Weston, climbing to 6-0 and establishing himself as the FAC welterweight champion and one of the top unsigned prospects in the region.
Veteran test and the UFC call
The biggest win of Scroggin's regional run came at FAC 24 in May 2024, when he went the full three rounds and earned a unanimous-decision victory over grizzled veteran Zak Bucia, a fighter with more than 30 pro bouts. Beating that level of experience pushed Scroggin to 7-0 and sealed his UFC opportunity. He made his Octagon debut at a UFC Fight Night in November 2024 against seasoned ex-UFC contender Elizeu Zaleski, and it was a brutal welcome: Zaleski stopped him with punches in the first round, handing Scroggin the first loss of his career and dropping him to 7-1.
Fighting style
Scroggin is a finisher who uses his length aggressively. His 7-1 record breaks down to three knockouts, two submissions and two decisions – a balanced, roughly 70% finish rate that shows he can end a fight on the feet or on the mat. At 6'3" with a 74-inch reach, he leans on leg kicks and long-range power striking to set up his offense, while his BJJ purple belt and arm-triangle and rear-naked-choke finishes prove the grappling is no afterthought. The lesson of his lone loss was about pace and seasoning at the elite level: against a battle-tested ex-UFC striker, the fight was over before his length and volume could become factors.
Career highlights
- FAC welterweight champion — captured and held regional gold while building a perfect professional record.
- Undefeated entering the UFC — reached the Octagon at 7-0 as a pro and 8-0 as an amateur, with finishes in the large majority of his wins.
- Statement win over a veteran — outpointed 30-plus-fight veteran Zak Bucia over three rounds to prove he could handle experience and earn his UFC shot.
