An American bantamweight from Pendleton, Oregon, Ricky Simón began wrestling at age nine. Before joining the UFC, he captured the Legacy Fighting Alliance bantamweight title. Throughout his career, he has trained with camps including Syndicate MMA, Team Oyama, Gracie Barra Portland, and American Top Team Portland. He employs a style centered on grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which helped him secure notable victories over opponents like Rani Yahya.
Entering his October 14, 2023 bout, Simón holds an 8-3-0 professional record. He previously compiled a four-fight winning streak, stopping Gaetano Pirrello and Jack Shore with arm-triangle chokes, beating Brian Kelleher by decision, and knocking out Raphael Assunção. In his latest match in April 2023, however, he suffered a technical knockout defeat against Song Yadong.
