Ramos vs. Ofli: A Clash at UFC Fight Night in Rio

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — Ricardo Ramos and Kaan Ofli are set to face off in a featherweight bout on the main card of UFC Fight Night 261 this Saturday at Farmasi Arena. Both fighters are looking to break losing streaks, as Ramos aims to recover from a recent loss while Ofli seeks his first UFC victory.

Ramos last fought on March 1, 2025, where he lost a unanimous decision to Chepe Mariscal. The Brazilian fighter is under pressure, needing a win to maintain his position within the UFC. Ramos has an extensive background, with four knockouts and seven submissions in his career, showcasing a well-rounded skill set.

Meanwhile, Kaan Ofli, an Australian fighter and a cast member from Season 32 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” comes into this fight with two consecutive losses in the UFC. Ofli is known for his wrestling and relentless pressure in fights, having achieved six submission victories in his mixed martial arts career. However, he has struggled to translate that success in the UFC thus far.

Analysts indicate that the matchup could heavily favor Ramos due to his experience and physical advantages. He stands two inches taller than Ofli and has a reach advantage of six inches. Ramos is listed as a favorite in the odds, reflecting the expectations surrounding his performance in front of a home crowd.

This opening bout of the main card will air live, with fighters expected to walk to the cage at approximately 7:45 p.m. ET. As fans gather in Rio, both fighters hope to showcase their skills and secure a much-needed victory.
