Ricardo Lucas Ramos Thankful For Dana White’s ‘Looking For A Fight’
In an interview with MMA Junkie, Ricardo Lucas Ramos (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) spoke about his win at UFC Fight Night 104 and his interactions with Dana White. Here are highlights:
On the “Looking for a Fight” experience: “That experience made me better today. I have to thank Dana White for having showed up in my life before, and today I was able to work with a lot more calmness and confidence. It’s been a very hard walk. I started very young, so now here I am at 21. I’m very happy with that and the work has just started. I know I have a long path ahead of me. I want to win the belt. I will conquer the belt. In a short time, I’ll be at the top of the division, and I will use all the tools I have at hand in order to make it.”
On beating Michinori Tanaka: “I thought his striking was predictable. I already expected everything that he did on the feet. But on the ground I felt his strength. I felt he was a stronger guy. But I was able to overcome and dominate the fight until the end.”
On returning soon: “I’m going to go home, rest and be with my family for a little while, but I want to come back soon. I want to feel this energy again as quickly as possible. I’ll rest a little and resume training stronger than ever, structure myself to have the best training possible, and be ready for the top of the UFC because that’s where I’m going to get.”
