Mauricio Ruffy Says Benoît Saint Denis Loss Forced Him to Reset

“That fight gave me some teachings… lessons I needed to learn,” Ruffy said, reflecting on his Paris setback to Saint Denis. He entered off a spinning wheel-kick KO of King Green at UFC 313, but got stymied and submitted in Round 2 on French soil. Ruffy admitted he left “searching for answers” and realized staying close to home “wasn’t going to cut it.” He returns Saturday at UFC 325 vs Rafael Fiziev.
