Nikolas Motta’s new tattoo | Photo via Italo Nanais Nikolas Motta will remember his UFC Baku war with Nazim Sadykhov every time he looks at the mirror. The lightweight veteran, who earned $100,000 in bonuses for his violent clash with Sadykhov in Azerbaijan back in June, reached out to Brazilian tattoo artist Italo Nanais to design a Murmillo gladiator tattoo to symbolize “not just physical struggle, but also mental strength and emotional endurance.” “When Nikolas reached out, he already had the concept: a gladiator across the chest,” Nanais said.
