Ricardo Ramos will get to fight on home soil for the first time as a UFC fighter on Feb. 2, as he takes on Said Nurmagomedov in a bantamweight bout at UFC Fortaleza in Brazil. The match-up was first reported by Akhmat MMA.
Ramos (12-1) has won three in a row since joining the UFC in 2017, including a bonus-winning spinning back elbow knockout over Alemann Zahabi at UFC 217. In his other fights, “Carcacinha” scored decisions over Michinori Tanaka and Kyung Ho Kang.
The Brazilian was expected to face Ricky Simon in November, but was pulled from the fight due to a hand injury.
