Francimar Bodão will have another opportunity to fight against Darren stewart after the controversy of the first duel between the two. They are scheduled for a rematch at UFC London, which will take place on March 18th. The information is from the Combate channel website.

Hair UFC Sao Paulo, on November 19, the Englishman knocked out the Brazilian, but an accidental headbutt delivered before the final sequence caused the CABMMA (Brazilian MMA Commission) to annul the Briton's victory, days later. Officially, the fight between Bodão and Stewart had no result (no contest).

PUBLICITY:

CABMMA's decision angered the Englishman, who accused the organization of having reversed the result of the fight just because his opponent was from home. He also advised fighters of other nationalities not to face Brazilian athletes in Brazil.
