Diego Brandao claims he’s done all the pieces that the UFC asked of him.
Brandao has produced some spectacular highlights during a powerful three-fight win streak that he recently put together in Tuff-N-Uff.
The last man he defeated, Kai Kamaka III, recently made his UFC return on short notice when he beat Dakota Hope via split decision on April 4.
Now, Brandao claims that while he was near stepping back contained in the Octagon, this chance has been taken away from him.
You’re Dana White for the day. Who’s the primary fighter you sign to the UFC? 👀
Diego Brandao says he did all the pieces UFC wanted before The Ultimate Fighter return was cancelled
Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping will coach the thirty fourth season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’, which Diego Brandao says he was scheduled to feature on.
The Brazilian said that he hopes Dana White hears what he has to say, speaking about this in a video on his Instagram page.
He claims that despite clearing each hurdle the UFC asked him to before bringing him back for the past yr, he’ll not be an element of the series because he’s “too veteran” and “too old.”
“They said to me, ‘Win this, win this’, I win all of them. But, guess what? They hire the fellows I beat,” Brandao said. “They thought I’m not going to have the opportunity to do it.”

The 38-year-old won season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter back in 2011 before happening to face the likes of Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier contained in the Octagon.
Brandao argued that other fighters could have more influence with the UFC on account of their management teams and that the matchmakers are only in search of young fighters.
Despite this unlucky news, the 54-fight veteran said that he intends to maintain busy, suggesting Karate Combat and Dirty Boxing as possible destinations for his next bout.
