New UFC fighter says he sizes up Whole Foods shoppers for a fight Ronald Humphrey doesn't have any shortage of confidence when it comes to his appetite for violence. Humphrey, who recently beat Alexis Miranda on Dana White’s Contender Series via submission to earn an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract, grabbed fans’ attention for his killer instinct. He has since claimed that he “embodies violence a lot in a healthy way.” When asked about the criticism of Ian Garry's performance in the recent welterweight title fight and UFC CEO Dana White’s comments about the Irishman’s lack of killer instinct, Humphrey offered a very different perspective, explaining that violence is a central part of how he approaches life. “Yeah, I embody violence. I love it,” Humphrey said. “Literally, I'll walk into like a Whole Foods sometimes, and I just see all the people that can't fight. I'm like, man, I could really f*ck all y'all up, and there's nothing y'all could do about it, and I could take this store over. And maybe I have like a couple of minutes until the police get there, but like even then, like you're done. Like you're cooked. Like what are you going to do to me? So yeah, I definitely embody violence a lot in a healthy way.” Humphrey (5-0) showcased his well-rounded skillset against Miranda on Week 3 of DWCS 2026, scoring a big takedown in the opening seconds, picking apart his counterpart with precise strikes and finishing with a rear-naked choke.
