Darren Stewart warns UFC fighters about competing in Brazil after commission overturns Sao Paulo win

Darren Stewart scored a technical knockout win over Francimar Barroso at the UFC Fight Night 100: "Bader vs. Nogueira 2" mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which took place on FOX Sports 1 last Saturday (Nov. 19, 2016) inside Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

But the Brazilian cried foul, claiming “The Dentist” extracted that win by way of illegal headbutt and went so far as to file an official appeal. Now, just a few days removed from the event, Stewart’s win has been changed to a no contest.

And he’s not happy about it.

“The entire situation stinks,” Stewart wrote on his official Instagram account (via MMA Weekly).
