Ricardo Ramos
The 28-year-old Brazilian fighter is an exciting prospect in the division. Ricardo Ramos’ talent was on display in June when he dispatched Danny Chaves with an eye-catching spinning elbow knockout. Coming from a background of Capoeira, “Catacinha” lived in a gym in his teens after his father kicked him out of the house. Ramos is known for his high-flying kicks and spins. He executes these moves with athleticism and dynamism, making him one of the most interesting fighters to watch in the UFC. A 2017 UFC debutant, Ricardo Ramos, is 7-3 in the promotion.
