Mauricio Ruffy proposes to girlfriend after spectacular win at UFC White House

Mauricio Ruffy had a memorable night at the White House on Sunday.

Ruffy faced Michael Chandler in a lightweight tilt at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday at the White House. Ruffy beat Chandler down in style before making him fold with a spinning wheel kick late in the first round. Only a few follow-up shots were necessary for the referee to call a stop to the action.

Ruffy then made the victory even more special by proposing to his girlfriend, Nadine, for marriage. Ruffy said that while he had wanted to marry her soon after they met, they didn’t have the financial conditions to do so.

The Ideal Time and Place

“A while ago, when I met my wife Nadine. I really wanted to ask her to marry me, but we didn’t have the money, we didn’t have the condition,” Ruffy said in his post-fight interview. “And now, what better place, to ask my wife to get married. Nadine, I love you, would you marry me?”

While the cameras didn’t show Nadine, UFC commentator Joe Rogan confirmed that she gave Ruffy’s proposal a thumbs up.

Ruffy (14-2) has finished four of his five UFC wins so far, while only losing to Benoit St. Denis. Meanwhile, Chandler (23-11) is 2-6 since his UFC debut in 2021, and is on a four-fight skid since 2022.
