Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently tied a ribbon around its UFC Fight Night 144 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place last Sat. night (Feb. 2, 2019) on ESPN+ from inside Northeast Olympic Training Center in Fortaleza, Brazil.
Plenty of fighters were left licking their wounds, including lightweight submission specialist Charles Oliveira. “Do Bronx” joins four other fighters who could be riding the pine for up to six months, unless otherwise cleared by a physician.
