After his crushing victory at UFC 313 , Mauricio Ruffy is hoping to get an opportunity to face a ranked fighter in his next appearance. Following his knockout of Bobby Green , the lightweight prospect didn't hesitate to challenge Beneil Dariush to a fight. Despite his attempt, the Brazilian was not reciprocated by the veteran, who admitted he would prefer to face Renato Moicano or Dan Hooker next.
