UFC Fight Night (9/6/25) Ruchala lost a three round unanimous decision to William Gomis

When and why did you start training for fighting? I have been involved in sports since I was a child, and all my life I have been looking for a sport that will last a lifetime. I started watching MMA fights on TV and I wanted to be able to defend myself. After the first week of training, I knew that this is my sport for life.

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? I am a Polish champion in Brazilian Jiu jitsu in the category of black, brown and purple belts. 18-3 record in MMA. Many medals from Jiu-Jitsu competitions

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Brown belt in BJJ

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? I've had many tough fights in KSW. It's a European organization, and I practically always got rivals who had twice as much experience as I did. The toughest fights were against Parnasse and Eskiev

Who is your favorite fighter and why? In UFC my favorite fighters are Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway. When I was a child, I watched a lot of fights. They were my inspiration to train. In this fight camp I sparred with Dustin and I helped in his preparation for the Holloway fight. It was a very sick situation in my life. I couldn’t believe what was going on.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in college.

What was your job before you started fighting? I delivered pizza for a while. That was my only job 

Origin of nickname: I am very unpredictable 

Personal Life / Background: Currently, the most important thing in life for me is sports. Everyone close to me strongly supports me to reach the top. I believe that I have the right age, energy and desire to do so.

Who are 3 people you'd love to meet or work with? Dana White, Max Holloway, Conor McGregor, Joe Rogan. 

What are your hobbies, activities or other interests when not training for a fight? Football, skateboarding, parachuting, working on my social media content, acting, photo model, singing, basketball, swimming, episodes on my YT channel.

I like to create content for my social media, participate in episodes on YT with various creators, and am very familiar with the camera. Sport is the most important thing in my life, I want to climb to the top and I know that in these times, only fighting is not enough and you need to do good work in the media. I study English every day to participate in podcasts in the language.
