Featherweight prospect Ricardo Ramos scored the second spinning knockout of his UFC career, and it was no lucky strike. According to ‘Carcacinha’ the spinning elbow that knocked Danny Chavez out cold at UFC Austin was a planned and very drilled strike during his camp.
In an interview with Super Lutas’ YouTube channel, the Brazilian broke down what he was thinking moments before landing the fight-ending blow. The way Ramos puts it, the whole thing boiled down to the moment when he knew Chavez was cornered and could not escape the spinning elbow.
“I took advantage of all of his body weight that moving towards me,” Ramos said.
