There is a lot to learn from sports. It’s a fact well-established. All sports have elements of focus, determination, perseverance, and camaraderie engrained in them. MMA is no exception. While athletes may be individuals inside the cage, training happens with a team that sweats and bleeds with you. Sparring partners, gym mates, coaches, corners, and doctors are the people behind every W a fighter earns. It’s thus natural to feel elated when a teammate wins. Sweet scenes of friendship and camaraderie were on display in Fury FC 76. But someone celebrated quite wildly.

Rojo didn’t enjoy his UFC stint

Marcelo Rojo will be relieved to have finally got his hands on a victory. The past year had been very disappointing for him as he lost all three of his UFC fights. He lost against Francis Marshall, Kyler Phillips, and Charles Jourdain. The consecutive losses were probably the reason behind his departure from the UFC.
