Zygimantas Ramaska Record: 9-3-0

The Ultimate Fighter and the octagon

Ramaska earned his shot through The Ultimate Fighter Season 32, the Team Grasso vs. Team Shevchenko edition, in 2024. His opening tournament bout against Bekhzod Usmonov became one of the season's most memorable: knocked down early by a clean right hand, Ramaska clawed back to his feet, took over, and won a decision that drew a standing ovation from Dana White. He carried that grit into his official UFC debut in September 2024, but the result didn't follow — he was caught in a second-round arm-triangle choke by the unbeaten Nathan Fletcher, the most recent fight on his record.

Fighting style

Ramaska is a pure finisher — every one of his nine wins has come inside the distance, split between five knockouts and four submissions for a 100% finish rate. His judo and combat-sambo base make him dangerous in the clinch and on the mat, while his length and aggression let him hunt for stoppages on the feet. That all-action approach cuts both ways: two of his three losses have come by finish, including the arm-triangle submission to Fletcher, underlining that his high-risk style produces decisive results in either direction. For a fighter who never leaves it to the judges, the next step is tightening his defense against the UFC's sharpest grapplers.
