MMA Fighting has Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez live round-by-round updates for Friday’s co-main event at Times Square in New York City.
The co-main event is expected to begin around 7:30 p.m. ET on DAZN pay-per-view. Check out our Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero results page to find out what happened on the undercard.
Devin Haney (31-0, 1 NC) fights for the first time since a grudge match with Ryan Garcia in April 2024, a bout that was shrouded in controversy. Garcia missed weight for the contest, then went on to defeat Haney via majority decision. However, that win was later overturned to a no-contest when Garcia tested positive for a banned substance. Haney’s undefeated record was restored and Garcia was handed a one-year suspension from competition.
Now, Haney returns in a 144-pound catchweight contest against Jose Ramirez (29-2). The former light welterweight champion looks to bounce back from a recent loss to Arnold Barboza.
Get Haney vs. Ramirez round-by-round live blog below:
Round 1: Early tangle as Haney just ducks his head into Ramirez and pushes him to the middle of the ring. That’s broken up quickly. A minute in and almost no punches have been thrown. There’s a jab by Haney. He is circling like a madman, he’s done at least five laps and there’s still plenty of time to go. Ramirez chasing with the jab, but he can’t get a bead on Haney. Ramirez doubles up on his jab. There’s a jab from Haney, one of the few punches he’s thrown. Almost nothing to score there, though what Haney threw he landed.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9, Haney.
Round 2: Haney definitely getting his cardio in. Quick jab from Haney. Ramirez not lighting up the ring with his output either at this point. What are we doing here, fellas? There’s another good jab from Haney. He gets under a Ramirez punch and they tangle again. Good left hook by Haney. He sticks the jab in Ramirez’s face. Haney slips in a right hand. Commentary killing Haney for his weird performance right now, but Ramirez is somehow doing even less.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9, Haney. Overall, 20-18 Haney.
