Dominance MMA manager, Ali Abdelaziz has revealed that whilst swimming on vacation in Hawaii, UFC lightweight contender, Ottman Azaitar acted quickly to “save” his life, claiming he got into trouble when he was unable to reach the bottom of a pool of water.
Azaitar, who last featured back in July of last year, succumbed to a second straight loss in the form of a TKO defeat against Fransisco Pardo, following a prior huge knockout loss against recent UFC Fight Night Paris feature, Matt Frevola at UFC 281.
A former Brave CF lightweight champion, Azaitar initially entered the UFC and improved on an undefeated run, landing a thirteenth straight win off the back of a knockout of Khama Worthy, and a prior knockout of Teemu Packalan in his first outing under the banner of the Dana White-led promotion.
