Culibao opened quickly and looked to cut down Ramos with low kicks, but slipped and spent the remainder of the opening round with the Brazilian on his back, threatening with deep choke attempts that he impressively fended off. The Australian kept things standing through the second to grab the momentum before they split the third round, with Culibao controlling things on the feet early and Ramos closing the round in top position.
When the scores were added up, it was Ramos that landed on the favorable side of the split decision verdict. The win snapped a two-fight slide for the enigmatic Brazilian, while Culibao was left visibly frustrated with the outcome.
