Eddie Bravo, the jiu-jitsu expert and long-standing, behind-the-scenes production analyst for UFC shows, has quit the organisation on the eve of the heavyweight title showdown between champions Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin.
Bravo, who runs 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu from the Legends MMA gym in Los Angeles, and who has worked as a mainstay Octagonside with color commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg for many years, is understood to have walked out after a disagreement over his desire to corner for lightweight fighter George Sotiropoulos, of Australia. The dual role will have been seen as a conflict of interest.
Sotiropoulos is due to fight Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 116 in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
