"If it's not at the White House, it will be five rounds. Ruffy told Sherdog.com about his upcoming fight negotiations, indicating that his next bout should guarantee his spot as the next challenger for the belt, whether it's a championship fight or a five-round contest."
"I had surgery on my right hand after the fight, but it's already fine. I'll go back to [punching] next week, but in the meantime, I'm keeping in shape and preparing the rest of my body. [Alexander] Volkanovski told me a lot not to stop training, and we'll see each other again soon."
"It was really cool how Volkanovski welcomed me - he literally took me under his wing. When his training was over, he would come and take care of mine, adjust positions and there were some days when I was there and he didn't train. On those days, he went to the academy just to take care of my training."
Mauricio Ruffy discussed his UFC future following his victory over Rafael Fiziev at UFC 325. His next fight, currently under negotiation, is expected to guarantee him a title shot. Ruffy revealed he underwent hand surgery post-fight but has recovered well and resumed training. He praised Alexander Volkanovski's mentorship during his time in Australia, highlighting how the UFC champion dedicated personal time to assist with his training despite his own demanding schedule. Ruffy expressed gratitude for the treatment and support he received, emphasizing the valuable lessons learned from working with elite-level fighters.
