Mauricio Ruffy wants Beneil Dariush after UFC 313 KO of YEAR CANDUST

Las Vegas – After undoubtedly one of the most vicious Knockuts in the history of the UFC, Mauricio Ruffy knows exactly what he then wants.

Ruffy (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) won a kick at the rotation heel on King Green (32-17-1 MMA, 13-12-1 UFC) a little more than two minutes after their main card opening on Saturday at the UFC 313. Green, which turned out to be many lights itself, was cold, first on the canvas.

Ruffy, a member of the Brazil’s upward combat Nerds, won a performance bonus of $ 50,000 for the arrival, which is certainly a direct elimination of the year in December.

“I am very satisfied with the victory and very satisfied on the occasion,” said Ruffy at his press conference after the fight at T-Mobile Arena. “I think I did justice to the vote of trust that the UFC gave me. Wherever (this kick) comes, there is much more to come. … We work very hard at the gymnasium so that things happen. In fact, back in the locker room, we also worked on this kick. »»

Ruffy, a light weight that will be 29 years old in June, has 11 of his 12 victories by KO. The only time he had to make a decision to raise his hand came in his second UFC fight last November. Against James Llontop at the UFC 309 in New York, he made 15 minutes.

But clearly, these are the winning finishes he prefers, like his victory over Green and his ko of Jamie Mullarkey during his beginnings in UFC.

“Listen, there are a lot of secrets about the Ruffy style you don’t know yet,” he said. “You have no idea, and I can’t wait to put them against a grappling, a wrestler. There are many more things that Ruffy can offer that you have not seen, but you will see it in the UFC. “”

With regard to which he would then like to present his skills, this grappling and the wrestler he has in mind is none other than Beneil Dariush, a 35 -year -old light show that has been in promotion for almost a dozen years.

After a sequence of eight fighting victories sentenced him to the title, Dariush was knocked out by former champion Charles Oliveira in June 2023. He lost a second consequence for the first time in his career when Arman Tsarukyan knocked him out in December 2023 in a main event in Austin, Texas.

Dariush was to return in January against Renato Moicano to the UFC 311, but when Tsarukyan underwent a combat week injury, Moicano was used to fight Islam Makhachev for the title. Dariush ended up with his cheese in the wind and without fighting.

Two months later, he was not officially linked and Ruffy was broken.

“My objective at the UFC is to be a champion and to draw the title of the title as soon as possible. Myself, with the team, I decided that it was a name that brings us closer to a title shot. So that’s what we want.
