Paulo Costa had the most highly publicized case of staph infection among the fighters on, or slated to be on, the UFC 294 card Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. He wasn't the only one, though, even if he wasn't permitted to fight.
Viktoriia Dudakova and Mike Breeden admitted after they fought, and won, over Jinh Yu Frey and Anshul Jubli, that they fought with staph infections. Dudakova won a unanimous decision over Frey by scores of 29-28 on all cards. Breeden rallied in the third to brutally knock out Jubli after talking trash to him throughout the final round.
The ringside physicians were angry with her following the fight for not disclosing it in her pre-fight examination. She said she didn't because she knew she would be pulled. But she admits she passed out while soaking in the tub during her weight cut, which increased her risk.Breeden also said he had staph. He, too, missed weight and appeared to have a cut over his left eye entering the fight. He was down two rounds but picked it up in the third round and wound up knocking Jubli out, going viral for woofing at him for much of the final round.
