Pedro Nobre's career in Ultimate may have been short. After the controversial fight against Yuri Marajó No. UFC Sao Paulo, the Brazilian's return to the Octagon has not yet been defined. At the event, held last Saturday (19), Pedro suffered a harsh punishment from Marajó, but after receiving a few blows to the back of the head – close to the back of the head, which is illegal – he claimed he was not physically capable of continuing the duel and the dispute was declared “No Contest” (no result).
The organization's president, Dana White, didn't like Nobre's attitude and called the Brazilian athlete an actor. “Pedro is an award-worthy actor…” White wrote on his Twitter account.

The manager's criticism continued after the UFC 158 press conference, held this Wednesday afternoon (23). Not even Pedro's trip to the hospital and the use of a neck brace were enough to convince Dana of the real injury suffered by Nobre.
“I think he is a fantastic actor. Did you hear he's walking around Brazil with a neck brace? I’ve seen some fighters… Never mind”, criticized White.
The director also said that he does not believe in a new opportunity for Pedro Nobre in the UFC. “I highly doubt it,” he concluded.
