Injuries and a well-publicized weight cut failure have kept Ricardo Ramos out of the cage for more than a year. Now healthy and in shape, the Brazilian readies his return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division.
Ramos will take on former TKO Major League MMA champion Charles Jourdain in a three-round UFC Fight Night 228 showcase on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, where he hopes to re-establish himself as a person of interest in the 145-pound weight class. The road back to the Octagon has been fraught with difficulties.
