The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) made a trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil on Saturday for UFC Fight Night 119. The event featured the octagon return of former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida. The fighter has not competed inside the octagon for two years, as “The Dragon” was handed a lengthy 18 month suspension following a drug test failure.
In the night’s main event, Lyoto Machida went toe-to-toe with Derek Brunson.
