Video: Brad Tavares recounts plummeting elevator that nearly wiped out UFC 203 fight card

CB Dolloway was forced out of his UFC 203 bout against Francimar Barroso last Saturday (Sept. 10, 2016) in Cleveland, Ohio, after a he sustained a back injury when a faulty elevator carrying him, as well as several others UFC fighters, fell from the second floor all the way to the basement.

Brad Tavares -- who defeated Caio Magalhaes at the pay-per-view (PPV) event -- was among those involved in the incident and admitted that he too, was feeling the effects of the fall. As he told MMA Weekly, his back felt a little stiff, but not enough to force him to bow out.
