Danny Chavez
The Colombian Warrior
USA
Quickly finished in Austin
Chavez lost to Ricardo Ramos via KO (spinning elbow) at 1:12 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
Chavez had never been knocked out in 16 professional fights prior to this one, but all it took was one perfectly-placed spinning elbow from Ramos to close the show here. Chavez never had a chance of surviving once the elbow landed, but referee Mike Beltran was a bit out of position and Chavez was forced to absorb a handful of additional strikes before Beltran could call it off. Now 35 years of age, Chavez began his UFC run with a unanimous decision win over TJ Brown in August 2020, but is without a victory (0-2-1) in three fights since. Chavez will be fighting for his job his next time out.

Fortunate to leave with draw
Chavez and Kai Kamaka fought to a majority draw (27-29, 28-28, 28-28) at UFC on ESPN 28 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
All things considered, Chavez should be quite thrilled with his draw. Both men had their moments in what was a back and forth fight, but Chavez would have dropped a majority decision had Kamaka not (correctly) been docked a point by referee Herb Dean in Round 2 for repeated low blows. Our exposure to Chavez consists of all of three UFC bouts, but he's 34 years of age and didn't have much helium up his company arrival back in August 2020. The Florida native has managed a win, loss, and draw, in that order, in those previously mentioned three fights.
