Falls via late-notice decision
Falcao lost to Victor Hugo via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Accepting this fight following the withdrawal of Heili Alateng about a week ago, Falcao started strong before predictably fading. He landed his only successful takedown in Round 1 and was able to match Hugo blow-for-blow, but his striking defense regressed considerably over the course of the final ten minutes, allowing Hugo to earn the decision. Falcao will certainly receive another shot with the company due to his willingness to "save" this bout. We'll see how he looks next time out with a full training camp under his belt.
