UFC on ESPN+ 10: Davi Ramos wants to see if Khabib Nurmagomedov can handle his jiu-jitsu

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Davi Ramos beat Austin Hubbard with a unanimous decision Saturday night to open the main card at UFC on ESPN+ 10 in Rochester, N.Y.

Take a look inside the fight with Ramos, who won for the fourth straight time. After three straight rear-naked choke wins, he won Saturday with a trio of 30-27 scores from the judges.

Result: Davi Ramos def. Austin Hubbard via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Updated records: Ramos (10-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC), Hubbard (10-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC)
Key stat: Ramos went to the judges for the first time in a four-fight streak after three straight submission wins

Ramos on the fight’s key moment

“I had some good kicks, some good takedowns, I gave him some good punches – he has a very hard chin, so I couldn’t knock him out.”

Ramos on being unhappy with his performance

“I’m really disappointed in my performance. The fight is the fight – you can’t say much about that. You’re not doing the same thing at the gym that you’re doing in the cage. … But I can do much more than I showed in there. I want to finish the fight.”

Ramos on what he wants next

“I don’t care about any guy. I’m a lightweight UFC fighter. Anyone the UFC puts against me, I have to fight. I’ve never chosen an opponent in my career. … One day, if it’s possible to fight against (lightweight champion) Khabib (Nurmagomedov), yeah, for sure. I really respect him – he’s a real warrior. But I want to test his wrestling against my jiu-jitsu.”
