The Brazilian powerhouse, who now competes in the super heavyweight divisions of Russian MMA promotion ‘AMC’, was back in action on Tuesday night.
After being matched against Russian fighter Yusup Shuaev, Zuluzinho thought he had claimed the 13th victory of his career after seemingly knocking his opponent out.
However, in what was an odd turn of events, it became apparent the ref had not called the fight but instead had separated the fighters due to the round’s bell going off.
The 42-year-old South American was seen widely celebrating what he thought was a win, only to learn the fight was still on.
After being forced back into action, Zuluzinho eventually went on to suffer a majority decision loss.
Awkward.
