It was a bittersweet week for Team Shogun on the last episode of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 4. After winning their sixth straight fight, as Joaquim Silva defeated Team Nogueira fighter Erick da Silva, the group also had to say good bye to Giovanni “Soldado” Santos after a litany of injuries prevented the Brazilian from staying in the competition any longer.
The win by Silva helped push Team Shogun to 6-0 overall, but the loss of Soldado was a soul crushing defeat for the team, considering the leadership he provided and the friendship he shared with everyone on the show.
