Mauricio Ruffy, the Brazilian lightweight fighter, made a spectacular entrance into the UFC at UFC 301. His performance in his promotional debut left fans and fellow fighters buzzing. But it was his post-fight message that truly caught everyone’s attention.
At UFC 301, held at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Ruffy faced off against Jamie Mullarkey. The fight didn’t last long – Ruffy secured a first-round TKO victory with a flying knee and a barrage of strikes, marking an explosive start to his UFC career.
The Message to Islam Makhachev:
In his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier, Ruffy didn’t hold back. Referring to lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, he said, “Hey, enjoy your days at the top. I know you’re upset because I beat your friend, but enjoy your days because a new king is coming.” The reference to Makhachev’s training partner, whom Ruffy defeated on Dana White’s Contender Series, added extra spice to the warning.
