Carneiro has a reputation for calling for “easy money” fights. The Brazilian recently listed Dan Hooker, Paddy Pimblett and Benoit St. Denis as “easy money” opponents. Having just defeated a teammate, Carneiro also briefly joked about a potential booking against another teammate in Mateusz Gamrot. However, Carneiro clarified that he doesn’t want to fight fellow Brazilian Mauricio Ruffy. While Carneiro used to think that he could defeat Ruffy, he believes otherwise since the latter’s latest win.
Running Down the List
“Dan Hooker — f—-ing easy money. Paddy Pimblett — f—-ing easy money. Benoit St. Denis — f—-ing easy money,” Carneiro said on the post-fight show. “I don’t want anything against Mauricio Ruffy. Because back in the day, I thought that I could beat this motherf—-er But now, after what he did against Fiziev, you saw that? This guy is the real deal. I don’t want anything against Mauricio Ruffy. Mateusz Gamrot, he trains at my gym, but right now I’m fighting everybody from the gym, so maybe Mateusz Gamrot. No, I’m joking, don’t be worried, Mateusz, I’m just joking, I’m not coming for you.”
Ruffy (13-2) is 4-1 in the UFC with three highlight-reel stoppage wins. Ruffy most recently knocked out ace striker Rafael Fiziev at UFC 325 this past January, to rebound from his only UFC loss against St. Denis. Ruffy is now scheduled to fight Michael Chandler at UFC White House on June 14.
