UFC Record Breakdown
This is straight up chaos meets experience. Mauricio Ruffy is coming off that nasty ground and pound finish of Rafael Fiziev in Sydney, and the Brazilian's been calling for bigger fights. He just told Sherdog he wants five rounders or a trip to the White House next, which is wild confidence for a guy who's still building his name. Meanwhile, Michael Chandler is trying to stop a brutal slide after dropping three straight to Paddy Pimblett, Charles Oliveira, and Dustin Poirier. Here's the thing though.
Expect fireworks early when Ruffy's looking to make a statement and Chandler knows he can't afford to dig another hole.
Ruffy's got serious finishing power, he's stopped four of his last five UFC fights. That wheel kick that flatlined King Green was absolutely sick, and he put away Jamie Mullarkey in under five minutes back in Rio. But he also got caught by Benoit Saint Denis with a rear naked choke, so the grappling defense isn't bulletproof. Chandler's been in wars with everyone, remember that front kick that dropped Tony Ferguson? Dude can still crack, and he landed 150 strikes against Oliveira even in a losing effort.
The matchup is fascinating because Chandler's wrestling could be the equalizer if Ruffy gets too wild with his striking. But Chandler's also been getting caught lately, and Ruffy's the kind of young, hungry fighter who smells blood when veterans start slowing down. This feels like a crossroads fight for both guys, just in completely different directions.
