ANALYSIS
Ramirez entered this fight as a sizable betting favorite in the ballpark of (-600) and quickly showed why. He did early work to the body and stayed aggressive, with a few hard elbows starting the finishing sequence. The 26-year-old Mexican prospect will carry a spotless 11-0-0 record into the UFC's featherweight division, and could get a scheduled bout in short order due to his quick night at the office. Rumors of a quick turnaround for the Sept. 13 Noche UFC event have already been swirling.
