UFC vet Brad Tavares is currently sidelined due to injury, but the 31-year-old is confident he will return to the Octagon stronger than ever.
Tavares last fought in the Octagon at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale, where he dropped a unanimous decision to newly-crowned interim middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in the main event.
Prior to that, the Extreme Couture product was on a four-fight win streak and firmly on the road to title contention, and the No. 11 ranked middleweight contender can’t wait to get back in the Octagon to continue on his quest for UFC gold.
