When Ricardo Lamas was offered a fight with Octagon newcomer Bill Algeo after his scheduled opponent for this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card in Las Vegas – Ryan Hall – withdrew from the bout, he didn’t blink.
He never does. And why would he? Over 16 fights in the UFC, Lamas has faced a Who’s Who of the featherweight division, from champions Jose Aldo and Max Holloway to perennial contenders Cub Swanson, Dennis Bermudez and Charles Oliveira, “The Bully” has seen it all. He’s lost some, he’s won more, and along the way he established himself as one of the best 145-pounders of this era.
