May 4, 2024
Ruffy defeated Jamie Mullarkey via TKO (punches) at 4:42 of Round 1 at UFC 301 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Daniel Cormier, on commentary for the event, said this was a flawless victory for Ruffy, and he was absolutely correct. It was a truly dominant effort for as long as it lasted. Looking supremely confident inside the Octagon and well aware Mullarkey had nothing for him, Ruffy picked his spots and obliterated his opponent whenever he decided to turn up the pace. The end result was both a win and a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Now 10-1 in his professional career with 10 knockout victories, Ruffy is clearly a fighter to keep an eye on moving forward in the loaded 155-pound division.

Scheduled vs. Mullarkey
LightweightUFC
March 22, 2024
Ruffy scheduled to face Jamie Mullarkey in a lightweight match at UFC 301 on May 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Ruffy recently earned a pro contract at Dana White's Contender Series 65 via a win over Raimond Magomedaliev by TKO in Round 3. He'll now get a chance to take on Mullarkey, who sits at 5-5 after 10 bouts at the UFC level. Mullarkey is a pro whose tactics rely on landing a handful of blows capable of dropping his opponent before he gets taken out himself, a doable introduction for Ruffy's UFC debut.
