After nearly two years on the shelf, Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight competitor Davi Ramos has had enough of the waiting game. In a series of conversations with Sherdog, Ramos explained why he requested his release from the UFC. He affirmed that he holds no particular ill will towards the promotion that has held his contract since 2017, but needs to move on with his professional fight career in order to provide for himself and his family.
On March 3, the 2015 Mundials gold medalist expressed his frustration with the UFC’s failure to schedule any fights for him since his July 2020 loss to Arman Tsarukyan.
