Ricky Simón is an American mixed martial artist who was once the champion of the Bantamweight division in the Legacy Fighting Alliance. He now competes in the Bantamweight category in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he is currently ranked #13. Simón, originally from Pendleton, Oregon, hails from a close-knit Mexican immigrant family.
Growing up alongside UFC athlete Vince Morales, Simón began wrestling at the age of nine and continued through high school, achieving a seventh-place state ranking in his sophomore year at Union High School in Camas, WA. Despite initial plans to wrestle collegiately at Clark College post-graduation, Simón shifted his focus to mixed martial arts.
In his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Lee in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on April 21, 2018, Simón faced Merab Dvalishvili. During the final round, Simón applied a guillotine choke on Dvalishvili, who managed to kick his way to the bell. Referee Liam Kerrigan awarded the win to Simón, believing Dvalishvili had passed out. Despite Dvalishvili's manager, Matthew Culley, requesting a review of the decision, the appeal was denied, and Simon was declared the winner. He is now gearing up to square off against Mario Bautista at UFC Fight Night: Ankalaev vs. Walker on January 13, 2023.
