A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

This is the UFC Abu Dhabi live blog for Marlon Vera vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, the featured bantamweight fight on Saturday evening. One of the most popular fighters in the bantamweight division, “Chito” is coming off a failed attempt to claim the bantamweight title, losing a one-sided decision to rival Sean O’Malley back in March. Still only 31 years old, Vera is now well outside the title picture, but a win over the former flyweight champion would be a big step towards getting back into the mix at 135 pounds.
