Giovani Decker, the UFC’s vice president and general manager in Brazil, has resigned from his position after a little more than a year with the company.
The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed that Decker “has resigned to pursue opportunities outside of the organization.” Decker was hired in March 2015, replacing Grace Tourinho. A replacement for Decker has not been announced.
During Decker’s tenure, the promotion held five events in Brazil. Notable cards during that time included UFC 190, which headlined by Ronda Rousey and Bethe Correia, and the massive UFC 198 event in Curitiba this past May, which was topped by a heavyweight tite clash between Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic.
