Cezar Ferreira finally injury-free for UFC fight a year after scary car accident

Cezar Ferreira and his family went through a scary situation in Florida in June 2018.

Weeks after scoring a first-round submission win over Karl Roberson at UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro, “Mutante” was driving around Florida with his wife and kids when a car hit them from behind. The TUF Brazil 1 winner says he wasn’t 100 percent healthy when he fought and lost to Ian Heinisch in November, and the effects from the accident also forced him out of a fight with Tom Breese in March.
