Crushing defeat in San Antonio Ferreira lost to Alexander Hernandez via TKO (punches) at 3:46 of Round 2 at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.
Impact This was not an easy fight, but Ferreira simply cannot afford to be losing pick 'em bouts at age 40. He started reasonably well, doing just fine in an opening round in which not much was happening, but Ferreira got dropped with a right hand midway through Round 2 which essentially ended the proceedings right there. The fact Ferreira had to absorb upwards of a dozen unnecessary strikes due to the incompetence of referee Jeff Rexroad didn't help matters, either. The Brazilian has fought much in recent years, but he's now dropped two in a row and five of seven dating back to February 2021.
