Maurício Ruffy seeks to regain momentum at UFC 325.
After thrilling audiences with two knockouts in three fights during his explosive start in the UFC, Mauricio Ruffy failed to live up to expectations in his first bout against a ranked fighter in the organization. At UFC Paris , the Brazilian was dominated by Benoit Saint-Denis . Now, at UFC 325, he has the opportunity to redeem himself and prove that he belongs among the elite of the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg).
