Ion Cutelaba’s fight at UFC on FOX 30: Alvarez vs. Poirier 2 marked a welcome return to form for the young light heavyweight prospect from Moldova. After spending 6 months on the sidelines, due to a USADA investigation of voluntarily disclosed ‘Ozone Therapy’ – a form of blood doping – he fought off the early aggression of Gadzhimurad Antigulov to score a first round KO.
Unfortunately, however, for the fighter who once painted his entire body green for his UFC bout against Jonathan Wilson – and who walked out on Saturday to Bret Hart’s theme, while sporting a pair of the pro wrestler’s iconic sunglasses – he didn’t get to have quite the return to action he’d hoped for.
