Yup, but he's coming for your boy. It's going to be hilarious when Wlad is getting scraped off the canvas in his home town
Ruiz was never Linear Champion or Ring Champion. Ruiz was never even recognized as "the man to beat" in the division. Wlad > Ruiz
Ruiz ****ing sucks and his titles werent any better than Wlad's. Lennox held the linear championship and Ruiz never fought for it.. he was around how long now? longer than wlad and never attempted to fight lennox.
Ruiz is a gatekeeper at best. Wlad - though fighting in a poor HW era - is the man right now in the divison.
