Maurício Ruffy sofreu um duro baque no UFC. Em setembro, na França, o brasileiro não ofereceu resistência contra Benoit Saint Denis, foi finalizado, conhecendo assim sua primeira derrota na companhia. Para piorar, o atleta sofreu duras críticas de parte dos fãs por conta de sua apresentação. Vivendo um momento profissional turbulento, o integrante da equipe Fighting Nerds se posicionou.
On his official Instagram account, Ruffy admitted that he did, in fact, underperform in the most important fight of his career and apologized to his fans. The Brazilian's regret is so great that he described himself as unrecognizable in the octagon.

It's worth noting that the athlete was considered by some fans and sports experts as the favorite to beat BSD. Aware of the poor impression he left in the cage, Ruffy promised to bounce back next time and, more than that, present an improved version.
"God's plans for my life and yours are perfect. I can't trust anything but Your Word. I've learned and I'm keeping my eyes wide open to what I need to improve. 14 fights and I've never left the fans without great emotion in any of my performances. I apologize to everyone who cheered for me. I won't make the same mistakes, and I'm not speaking technically, because I haven't fought. It won't be today, nor tomorrow, but one day I will be UFC CHAMPION. Back to work," wrote the athlete.
