"The UFC is really liking my performances. What I can say now is that my next fight will either be at the White House or five rounds. I have to thank Hunter and Dana a lot. I will complete two years in the UFC in May, already fulfilling a dream."
"I have a lot of respect for Chandler not only as a fighter, but as a family man. He is a very dangerous opponent. What I can say is that I will get in there in great shape, and Chandler will face the best Ruffy. In all my fights I look for the knockout all the time, and this time will be no different."
"Right now I'm 100% focused on healing my hand. I have two more weeks to decide. So I'll put all my energy into that. It's going to be a war. Topuria doesn't back down and exposes himself a lot in his fights. Gaethje has the same characteristic; unlike the odds I think it will be a war."
Mauricio Ruffy correctly predicted his next fight would occur at the White House or be a five-round bout before the official announcement. Dana White confirmed Ruffy would face Michael Chandler at the UFC White House event on June 14. Ruffy expressed gratitude for the opportunity and respect for Chandler as both a fighter and family man, emphasizing he will enter the fight in peak condition seeking a knockout. Currently focused on healing his hand, Ruffy has two weeks to decide on his training camp location. He believes a dominant victory would position him for a title shot and predicts the Topuria versus Gaethje matchup will be highly competitive despite the odds.
