Ronny Markes drops to middleweight division for second bout in the UFC
Ronny Markes debuted with a win in UFC, accepting the invitation at the last minute to fight on the 205lbs division, against Karlos Vemola, but his future on the organization will be in other weight class.
On a chat with TATAME, the coach of Kimura team, Jair Lourenco, revealed his student will go down to the middleweight division, same weight class he was used to fight at in Brazil. After the win, which happened on UFC on Versus, Ronny talked to our crew about his performance on the fight.
“It didn’t happen like we wanted it too… I wanted to finish it earlier, but we all get scared when we’re debuting in an event, and I fought a guy who had fought many times there before… I wanted to knock him out, but I followed the plan B”, tells Ronny, who took the wrestler down and dominated the actions for the entire 15 minutes. “They’ve told me he was a wrestler, but in there we’re fighting MMA, it’s not a Wrestling bout. You have to find the right moment to use your tools”.
