Do you hear that?
That's the sound of silence because nooooooooobody is talkin' 'bout the "Sick Dog" Hector Ramirez and I mean nobody. Too bad 'cause this bad ass from the barrio of East Los Angeles is nobody's bitch.
I mentioned the same sound of silence about another fighter who seems to be regarded as a top contender in the Heavyweight division now... who could that be?
Take a look at the UFC 72 poster and notice that Hector is missing. It isn't because he missed the photo that day either. What the hell is this, "Plus Forrest Griffin" with only three fighters promoted on the poster?
I found an interview with Hector Ramirez that you would enjoy below...
*** Notice that Ramirez is coached by Juanito Ibarra who also happens to be Rampage Jackson's coach... could be trouble for Griffin ***

This is a cool video of Kendal Grove getting KTFO by Sick Dog at King of the Cage on 5/7/2005.

I like how the claim to fame for Ramirez is that he beat Kendal Grove in 2005.
ReplyDeleteKendal Grove was identified as a vastly improved fighter after going through the TUF show. He wasn't half the fighter he is now. So comparing Ramirez to the current Kendal Grove isn't real accurate.
I hear ya.
ReplyDeleteRamirez cut to 185 to fight KG and that fight was a while ago for both fighters.
He showed some stage fright in his first UFC event (UFC 65) against the Sandman and felt the pain of that quickly with a TKO in the 2nd round.
Ramirez went the distance with Rashad Evans however, Rashad was more of a wrestler at that time without any fight finishing skills in his arsenal.
The real difference for Ramirez will come from his development with the famous Juanito Ibarra... if he can stay focused under the Belfast lights.
I think this fight will be the fight of the night as both Griffin and Ramirez need a win to build momentum toward increased cheddar and exposur down the line.
Too bad that the UFC LHW division is now "Stacked" with the world's top fighters.
Ramirez needs a win and an impressive showing if we will ever see him on a main card in the UFC in the future... Griffin too.
