The Ranik Ultimate Fighting Federation, RUFF for short, held its 9th event this past Saturday, May 18th, at the SanYa-HaiNan MGM Grand Sanya situated at Yalong Bay in Hohhot. RUFF 9 was just one of many Asian Mixed Martial Arts events that took place on Saturday, alongside PXC 37 and many others.
In the main event, promotional staple Amu RiJiRiGaLa submitted Shang Zhifa via an Armbar in the 1st stanza. Although the latter fighter showed his durability in the opening exchanges, it was a 2nd takedown from RiJiRiGaLa that signaled good night irene for Zhifa, who now suffers from a 3-fight losing skid.
The 2nd featured bout of the evening saw Ning GuangYou locking horns with Jiang ZhouWen. After a takedown in the 2nd round, Ning forced an intervention from the referee after throwing some ground-and-pound on his opponent.
