Brad Tavares has been forced out of action, but after undergoing reconstructive knee surgery, the teak-tough Hawaiian is targeting a return by the end of 2020. Tavares (17-6 MMA, 12-6 UFC) dropped back-to-back losses to future middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and rising contender Edmen Shahbazyan, and was all set to face Brazilian Antonio Carlos Junior at UFC on ESPN+ 28 in Brasilia before suffering a knee injury in training. “Just training for a fight with (Cara de) Sapato, planted and my knee just buckled,” Tavares told MMA Junkie during a recent Dominance MMA media day.
