Maurício Ruffy debuted in Ultimate with a great performance last Saturday (4), on the UFC Rio card, with the right to a knockout, “Performance of the Night” bonus and plastic blows in his victory over Australian Jamie Mullarkey by technical knockout in the first round . Among the attacks made by the Brazilian during the duel, what stood out was a “flying scissors” applied to his rival. However, according to the fighter, the blow still didn’t go as he planned.
“It didn’t go as I planned, but I liked it. I really wanted to finish with that flying scissors. I applied the scissors, but I couldn’t go for his heel, because he was too close to the fence. But I believe I will have a lot of opportunities “, declared Maurício, who continued:
“It’s God, really. I say that, people laugh and ask what God has to do with it. God has blessed me and shown me things that I can’t see. I gave my life to Him and He has directed me, and believe me, you will see much bigger things than this”, concluded the lightweight.
Maurício Ruffy is 27 years old and has a record of 10 wins, all by knockout, and only one loss as a professional. The Brazilian reached Ultimate through the reality show “Dana White’s Contender Series”, last year, by knocking out Raimond Magomedaliev in the third round. With the victory at UFC Rio, Ruffy reached the fifth consecutive victory in his career.
