Mauricio Ruffy's recent split from the Fighting Nerds has sparked a lot of debate, but the fighter remains unbothered. In an interview with MMA Junkie Radio, Ruffy expressed his indifference towards the criticism, stating, 'I saw some trash talk on social media, but I don't care about that.' He maintains a positive relationship with the team, even though he's no longer training with them. This decision has led to some scrutiny from fans, but Ruffy believes his fans understand his choice and support him. He continues to train in his hometown of Sao Paulo, Brazil, with a private gym focused solely on his development. This shift in training has allowed Ruffy to focus on his personal growth and evolution in the sport. When asked about his upcoming fight against Michael Chandler, Ruffy remains confident and prepared. He acknowledges Chandler's strengths, such as his heavy hands and takedown attempts, but emphasizes his own preparation and growth in wrestling. Ruffy's training regimen in Australia with Alexander Volkanovski has contributed to his overall development. As he steps into the Octagon for the UFC Freedom 250 event, Ruffy is ready to showcase his skills and prove his worth. The fighter's journey and his ability to stay focused amidst the noise make him a fascinating figure in the MMA world. His decision to leave the Fighting Nerds and forge his own path highlights the importance of personal growth and the pursuit of individual goals in the competitive world of mixed martial arts.
