A bit of a Brazil vs. Russia rivalry will be going on at the upcoming UFC Vegas 21 card. Per UFC Brazil’s official Instagram account, featherweights Ricardo Ramos and Zubaira Tukhugov, as well as flyweights Matheus Nicolau and Tagir Ulanbekov will all square off at the March 13 event.
Looking to bounce back from his only 2020 outing, where he got TKO’d by Lerone Murphy in July, Ramos (14-3) will try to avoid a dreaded losing skid. Before that, the 25-year-old was on a two-fight winning streak, with victories Luiz Eduardo Garagorri and Journey Newson.
