Ramos (7-2-0) is looking to build off the momentum of his first UFC win, which came over Chris Gruetzemacher at UFC Fight Night Fresno. Ramos also competed once in Bellator MMA, suffering a defeat to David Rickels at Bellator 130 in October of 2014. Ramos has seen three of his nine professional MMA fights go the distance, earning a 1-2-0 record in those bouts.
