News about Brad Tavares

After losing at UFC 292 to Brad Tavares, UFC president Dana White begged Chris Weidman to step down from MMA. Weidman's first fight back from a horrific leg break 28 months ago has been decided unanimously at the TD Gardens in Boston, Massachusetts. Although the act of returning to the Octagon following such traumatic injury was commendable, the former UFC middleweight champion was never fully involved in the fight. An slew of heavy leg kicks from Tavares caused Weidman serious issues, but White has since revealed that the American sustained a serious injury to either his ACL or MCL during the fight. At the UFC 292 post-fight press conference, White told assembled media, 'I love Chris Weidman. I love him.'
