PLAISTOW, N.H. – Mauricio Ruffy will be at UFC 314 to support Jean Silva, but he’s bringing his gloves with him. Ruffy (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who’s fresh off a knockout of the year contender over King Green at UFC 313 in March, is eyeing Beneil Dariush next at International Fight Week for UFC 317. However, the Fighting Nerds prospect is willing to compete even sooner. He will have his eyes peeled for Saturday’s co-main event ( ESPN+ pay-per-view) between Michael Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC) and Paddy Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC) at Kaseya Center in Miami, and is willing to step in if either fighter is forced to withdraw
