Beyond the Octagon: Former Sengoku champ Sandro upset, Invicta's Tweet victorious

Your weekly update on what big-show veterans are up to on the regional circuit.

While we're all still drunk on power (Mark Hunt's power, anyway), let's unwind with some regional fight results, shall we?

Following his impressive, title-winning run in Japan, Marlon Sandro (26-7-2, 8-3 Bellator, 5-2 Sengoku) came to be ranked among the best featherweights in the world. However, the last few years have seen him struggle to gain traction in the division, the latest of these troubles coming last weekend in the main event of Road FC 29.

Sandro, a potent finisher, looked to unseat unlikely champion Mu Gyeom Choi (7-4-0) but wound up on the wrong side of the scorecards; Choi received a unanimous decision from the judges.
