FORTALEZA, Brazil — Davi Ramos will make his UFC debut Saturday night against Sergio Moraes, and he believes that his fight will make history.
Ramos, who originally fights in the lightweight division, is a multiple time champion in jiu-jitsu and the 2015 ADCC gold medalist. Ramos is moving up to 170 pounds to replace injured Max Griffin on short notice at UFC Fight Night 106, and welcomes a grappling contest with his fellow BJJ world champion.
“This time it’s two guys with excellent jiu-jitsu, so I believe this will be a great jiu-jitsu show for everyone, which I think is cool,” Ramos said.
