Luiz Dutra simply got lost in the moment when he suffered a disqualification loss at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 34, but he said his opponent isn’t completely innocent in the ordeal. In his promotional debut, Dutra (11-3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) said he got overly aggressive in the welterweight main-card bout. That led to some illegal elbows to underdog Kiichi Kunimoto (16-5-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who took some of the downward shots to the back of his head. With Kunimoto unable to continue, the fight was waved off, and Dutra was stuck with the DQ defeat. “I think he really felt the first elbow,” Dutra told MMAjunkie.
