10 UFC Fights That You Cannot Miss In May

9. Davi Ramos Vs. Austin Hubbard - UFC Fight Night 151

Despite losing his first bout in the UFC in a less than entertaining scrap, Davi Ramos has bounced back to win three fights on the trot. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is one of the most accomplished grapplers currently competing in the UFC and has used those skills to submit his last two opponents in the first round.

Although his boxing and kicking game have improved a lot since he first started, Ramos is unlikely to turn into the type of fighter who destroys his opponents on the feet. His striking is solely there to help him close the distance so he can get the fight to the floor and use his best weapons to finish his opponent.

Austin Hubbard is a decent fighter who wouldn't do too bad against a lot of lower level lightweights in the UFC. However, he doesn't have a particular skill or area that he's great at and that could turn out to be a major problem for him. He's probably not going to batter Ramos up on the feet and he's certainly not going to handle him if it goes to the floor.

Fans should look at this as a showcase fight for Ramos as he continues to climb up the 155lb division.
