Ruffy is a Fighting Nerds product and one of the division's most violent finishers, with 13 of his 14 wins by knockout, including two by spinning wheel kick. He is a pure striker who has never attempted a takedown in the UFC, and his lone recent loss came when Benoit Saint Denis dragged him into deep grappling waters. Back-to-back 2026 stoppages of Fiziev and Chandler have pushed him into the top ten.
