The UFC on Saturday paid tribute to Allan Nascimento following his death last week.
The MMA community was shocked by the news of Nascimento's untimely death at 34 after an apparent heart attack in his sleep. The longtime member of Brazil's Chute Boxe Academy left behind a wife and two children.
In June, Nascimento had a four-fight winning streak snapped with a split decision loss to Mitch Raposo. Two of his four wins prior to that setback were bonus-winners. Nascimento was a regular training partner and close friend of teammates and fellow UFC fighters including ex-lightweight champion and BMF belt-holder Charles Oliveira, Elves Brener and others.
