Best wishes went out to the UFC’s South American badass from TUF: Latin America, Diego Rivas, in 2016, who prepared a comeback to the Octagon after his recovery from cancer. ‘Pitbull’ hoped to fight in Mexico City in November of the same year, but was forced to target a later date after successful surgery and a course of chemotherapy.
Rivas returned in August 2017, UFC Fight Night 114, against José Alberto Quiñónez but subsequently lost.
