Ramaska is a good fighter who comes to MMA from a combat sambo background. Although he is talented there are a few glaring holes in his game. His takedown defense stinks as he just accepts going to his back. He’s comfortable there because his jiu-jitsu is so tricky. He makes mistakes in his grappling but uses his length to scramble and win positions.

On the feet, he uses a lot of movement and snipes from the outside with his hands and legs. Ramaska can throw himself off balance stepping into everything he throws too much. His striking/kickboxing is good but it needs refining. Ramaska can be knocked out on the feet or just controlled off his back. He’s dangerous offensively but his defense has gaps.
