Benoit Saint-Denis scored one of the biggest wins of his mixed martial arts career at UFC Paris, finishing contender Mauricio Ruffy in the co-main event.
Saint-Denis came out looking to put Ruffy on the mat, and for the most part, that’s exactly what he did. However, Saint-Denis’ momentum was halted a bit after an accidental low blow to his opponent brought a pause to the action. With the fight restarted, Ruffy was hesitant to throw, likely surrendering the opening round to Saint-Denis.
The ‘God of War’ picked up right where he left off in the second stanza, putting Ruffy on the mat and immediately taking the Brazilian’s back.
