Mauricio Ruffy is ranked #7 at UFC lightweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
On the feet he's a problem: 4.19 significant strikes a minute at 59% accuracy, and 93% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.
Most recent outing: a win over Michael Chandler via ko/tko (punches) r1. Business handled.
