Ramiz Brahimaj

USA

Can't defend takedown in loss
WelterweightUFC
May 18, 2024
Brahimaj lost to Themba Gorimbo via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was widely believed that Brahimaj had an edge over Gorimbo in the grappling department, and if he was to win this fight, it would come via that method. Not only did he not win, but he lost because he couldn't defend a takedown. Ramiz allowed Themba to connect on 5-of-6 attempts, good for 10:13 worth of control time. You simply have zero chance of emerging victorious in a 15-minute decision if you are spending more than two-thirds of the bout either being controlled on the mat or up along the fence. The definition of roster depth, Brahimaj has alternated losses and wins in his first five UFC bouts.
