Rufati returns following a dominating performance over DeVon Mosley earlier this year. In the bout, Rufati secured the takedown, advanced to side control while trapping his opponent’s arm between his (Rufati) and ground, and pounding a defenseless foe waiting for the referee to intervene. (And) “Don’t be shocked if that happens again, second round,” says a confident Rufati.
Elated to get back into the cage, Rufati has been consistent with getting as many fights as possible throughout his career. Since 2016, He’s amassed an incredible 16 (Ammy/pro) fights in his short four years as a fighter. Needless to say, the itch to get back in the cage is a certainty.

He’s cutting a lot of weight. He’s gonna be gassed right away.” Going on to convey how he intends to get the job done. Come fight night, “Bell rings, I’m going right after him,” he says. Finalizing with, “win and win impressively on UFC Fight Pass!”
