ADCC champ Rodolfo Vieira releases statement after ‘worst day of my life’ in UFC 258 loss

ADCC champ Rodolfo Vieira released a statement in the wake of his shocking submission loss to Anthony Hernandez at UFC 258, writing he is still searching for answers on why he ran out of gas early in the fight.

Vieira called his meeting with Hernandez the “worst day of his life” and “worst performance of his life” after submitting to a guillotine choke in the second round of the preliminary-card bout on Saturday in Las Vegas. It was the first professional MMA loss of Vieira’s career against BJJ purple belt Hernandez, who was a 30-1 underdog to win via submission.
