Mauricio Ruffy, the rising star of the UFC, showcased a different side of himself recently by attending his first hockey game, where he was invited by Boston Bruins forward Jakub Lauko. The Brazilian fighter, known for his knockout prowess and personality, marked this experience as an exciting interaction with a sport he had little prior knowledge of. After just three UFC bouts, Ruffy has already begun to make a name for himself, boasting an impressive record and an engaging social media presence.

As Ruffy continues his ascent in the UFC, he plans to expand his impact by opening a new branch of Fighting Nerds with fellow fighter Yann Oliveira. The organization has been pivotal in his career and training. Ruffy's nickname, 'One Shot,' reflects his striking capabilities, but he hints there’s more to his game than just striking, teasing fans about his grappling skills. He’s actively calling out top contenders like Beneil Dariush, indicating his ambition to climb the ranks and establish himself as a formidable opponent.
