Background

Growing up in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, Ramos often got into fights in his teens.[2] His father placed him in Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes, but eventually kicked him out of the home at the age of 14.[2] According to Ramos, he stayed at the mixed martial arts gym from that point to the age of 21.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Ramos made his professional MMA debut in 2012. For the first two years of his career he fought exclusively in his native Brazil and amassed a record of 6 wins and no losses. He made his North American debut in 2015, fighting three times for Legacy FC before it re-branded to Legacy Fighting Alliance. Before joining the UFC, he had a record of 9 wins and 1 loss; all but one of his wins came via stoppage before the final bell.

Ramos was featured on Dana White's Lookin' for a Fight reality show when he submitted Alfred Khashakyan to earn himself a UFC contract.[4]
