Conor McGregor hails UFC stablemate after brutal spinning elbow KO victory

Conor McGregor has hailed stablemate Ricardo Ramos after the Brazilian recorded a devastating spinning elbow KO victory.

Ramos fought Danny Chavez at the UFC's event in Austin on Saturday night which was headlined by Calvin Kattar's defeat to Josh Emmett. The Brazilian star is part of the Paradigm Sports management label alongside McGregor and he was looking to respond to a decision defeat against Zubaira Tukhugov last year at UFC 267.

The 26-year-old wasted no time and came flying out of the blocks to record the fifth spinning elbow KO in UFC history. McGregor took to social media to heap praise on his stablemate, writing on Instagram : "Paradigm Sports' own! What an incredibly exciting fighter this Brazilian 145lb star is. Incredible excitement towards the UFC world title. My former division. My former belt. Congratulations tonight!"
