Zygimantas Ramaska
Lithuania
Taps out in Vegas opener
Ramaska lost to Nathan Fletcher via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:14 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Competing in just his twelfth professional fight and first official bout since last May, Ramaska didn't show much. He made some headway on the feet early on, but was quickly dragged to the mat and dominated by Fletcher. He gave up for takedowns in total, eventually tapping out early in Round 2. This fight was technically part of the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter, so Ramaska isn't officially under UFC contract. Nothing we saw this evening would lead you to believe the company is itching to extend an offer.

ANALYSIS
The card needed some filler, so the UFC turned to two Team Shevchenko participants from the recent season of The Ultimate Fighter. Ramaska made it to the semifinals before suffering a facial fracture that ended his run, but enough time has passed since the show's taping for that to heal. The 27-year-old Lithuanian enters with a 9-2-0 record and sits as approximately a (+135) betting underdog as of Thursday morning.
