Mauricio Ruffy wants Beneil Dariush after KO of Year candidate at UFC 313

LAS VEGAS – After arguably one of the most vicious knockouts in UFC history, Mauricio Ruffy knows exactly what he wants next.

Ruffy (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) landed a spinning heel kick on King Green (32-17-1 MMA, 13-12-1 UFC) a little more than two minutes into their main card opener Saturday at UFC 313. Green, who has turned out many lights himself, was out cold, face first on the canvas.

Ruffy, a member of Brazil’s fast-rising Fighting Nerds team, won a $50,000 performance bonus for the finish, which is sure to be a Knockout of the Year contender come December.
