Alexander Volkanovski was in Mauricio Ruffy\u2019s corner when Arman
\nTsarukyan landed the fight-ending elbows at UFC 331<\/h2>\n

Ruffy switched gyms after losing to Benoit St.
\nDenis<\/a> last year, leaving the Brazilian gym
\nFighting Nerds<\/a> to train under Volkanovski in Australia. Cameras
\ncaptured the featherweight champ\u2019s reaction from Ruffy\u2019s corner as
\nTsarukyan delivered the fight-ending elbows. Volkanovski and former
\nUFC lightweight Brad
\nRiddell<\/a> were clearly stunned by the outcome.<\/p>\n

Ruffy\u2019s takedown defense looked solid in the first round against
\nTsarukyan, pointing to obvious improvements in his defensive
\nwrestling since changing gyms.<\/p>\n

This marked Ruffy\u2019s second defeat in the UFC, hurting his
\nchampionship aspirations. Meanwhile, Volkanovski will look to
\nretain the featherweight title when he takes on the unbeaten
\nMovsar
\nEvloev<\/a> at
\nUFC 333<\/a> in October in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
