Diego Brandao’s most recent professional fight in Dagestan, Russia, was a strange one, to say the least. After an exchange of head butts and other illegal blows against opponent Akhmed Aliev, as well people in the stands throwing bottles inside the cage, the TUF 14 veteran decided to just walk off the fight in the middle of action in the second round.
Brandao’s actions earned him his first loss outside of the UFC, as well as the ire of the fans in attendance. But despite the backlash, the Brazilian fighter is not at all sorry about what he had done.
