The UFC’s return to Sao Paulo after more than four years proved to be a forgettable one on Saturday, with UFC Fight Night 231 seeing six of 10 bouts go the distance with three canceled fights in the 48 hours leading up. One of the fights go to the scorecards was the main event, Jailton Almeida (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) earned a lopsided but somewhat underwhelming unanimous decision over Derrick Lewis (27-12 MMA, 18-10 UFC) to remain undefeated in heavyweight competition. For more on the numbers behind the headliner, as well as the rest of the card, check below for MMA Junkie’s post-event facts from UFC Fight Night 231.
