‘It won’t happen again’: UFC Abu Dhabi’s Elves Brener discusses lesson learned in ‘messed up’ weight cut before first loss

Elves Brener vows to be more professional year-round to ensure his weight is on-point following a rough experience before, during, and after his recent UFC bout in May.

Brener made weight for a UFC 301 lightweight clash against Myktybek Orolbai in Brazil, but lost a decision. The Chute Boxe prospect was 3-0 in the UFC with two bonuses claimed prior to that, and now looks back at his experience in Rio de Janeiro as a learning lesson.
