Francimar Barroso and Darren Stewart collided for the first time four months ago, and the light heavyweight contest was surrounded by controversy.
Stewart made quick work of the Brazilian at UFC Fight Night 100 in Sao Paulo, winning by TKO in just 94 seconds. However, the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) later overturned the result to a no-contest due to an unintentional headbutt, a clash of heads that happened moments before referee Eduardo Hardy stopped the fight.
The UFC decided to run it back, this time in Stewart’s home country. At Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night 107 in London, “Bodao" and “The Dentist” will meet one more time, and the Nova Uniao fighter still thinks the headbutt was intentional.
