Ramiro Jimenez is a 10-0 featherweight who secured a first-round finish over Tommy Cuozzi on the Contender Series using punches and elbows. Jimenez believes his finishing ability aligns with organizational expectations and expects a UFC contract while acknowledging his opponent's passion and resistance. Jimenez prefers to delay a UFC debut to consult coaches and assess his current standing rather than rush into the next step. At the weigh-in Cuozzi took a selfie with Jimenez; Jimenez permitted the selfie but emphasized respect and that friendly gestures are inappropriate immediately before a fight.
I finish people. I think that's what the organization wants, to finish your opponents. And that's what I do the best,
Everyone here wants to get that contract, so I understand the passion that he has in that moment.
I prefer to take my time, to see what I stand up right now, and talk to my coaches. They want the best for me, so I want to hear them, to see what's next. I'm not rushing it.
But I'm not disrespecting everyone. If he wants a selfie, I'll give him [one]. Just with respect, I'm not his friend in that moment. Just take the selfie, and that's it.
