Barely gets by Bill Algeo
Ramos defeated Bill Algeo via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a close one, with virtually all media outlets scoring the fight split right down the middle. It ended up being a fairly easy victory for Ramos according to the only three men that mattered. After landing nine successful takedowns over the course of his first seven UFC bouts combined, Ramos strung together eight successful tries on Saturday. He did very little with his positional advantage, racking up just 3:23 worth of control times, but the judges valued his ability to get Algeo to the canvas. It was a nice rebound effort on the heels of Ramos' knockout loss at the hands of Lerone Murphy last July. The Brazilian won't turn 26 years of age until August 1. There's still potential here.
