Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Oliveira began his MMA career in 2008 in his home country of Brazil, compiling a record of 12–0, with six technical knockouts and five submission wins. On three separate occasions, Oliveira has compiled multiple wins in the same night.[1]

In March 2008, Oliveira made his professional debut at the Predador FC 9 - Welterweight Grand Prix event. In the first round Oliveira defeated Jackson Pontes via submission (rear naked choke) which advanced him to the second stage of the tournament held the same night. Oliveira's second stage fight was against Viscardi Andrade. In the second round of the fight, Oliveira won via TKO (punches) and advanced to the final round of the tournament. Oliveira won the tournament by defeating Diego Braga via TKO (punches) in the first round of the fight.[2]

After defeating Medhi Bagda in December 2008, Oliveira entered into another tournament, where he defeated Daniel Fernandes and Eliene Silva via TKO and KO respectively.[1]

Oliveira then defeated three opponents in the next few months, each by submission (one of which being Alexandre Bezerra[3]) and later had a split decision victory over Eduardo Pachu.[1]

Oliveira once again competed twice in one night, in February 2010, defeating Rosenildo Rocha via submission (rear naked choke) in the first round and Diego Bataglia via KO (slam).[1]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In January 2010, Oliveira was named as the third best Brazilian prospect to watch in 2010, according to Sherdog.[4]

Oliveira then signed for the UFC and made his debut against Darren Elkins. This fight was originally scheduled for The Ultimate Fighter: Team Liddell vs. Team Ortiz Finale,[5] but was rescheduled for UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko due to visa issues.[6] Oliveira defeated Elkins via submission (armbar) after 41 seconds of the first round. Oliveira was taken down early by Elkins, but quickly attempted a triangle choke, before transitioning to an armbar, forcing the tapout. The submission earned him the Submission of the Night award.

Oliveira next fought against Efrain Escudero at UFC Fight Night 22 replacing an injured Matt Wiman.[7] The bout, which served as co-main event would become a catchweight bout after Escudero weighed in at 159 lb. Oliveira went on to defeat Escudero in the third round via rear naked choke.[8] Oliveira was awarded the Submission of the Night award for his second successive UFC appearance.[9]

Oliveira faced Jim Miller on December 11, 2010 at UFC 124.[10] Oliveira was quickly submitted via kneebar in the first round, resulting in the first loss of his career.

Oliveira faced Nik Lentz on June 26, 2011 at UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry. The fight ended in the second round after Oliveira hit Lentz with an illegal knee which went unnoticed by the referee and submitted the dazed Lentz via rear naked choke. However, after reviewing the incident, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission overturned the result and declared it a no contest.[11] The back and forth action earned both fighters Fight of the Night honors.

Oliveira was expected to face Joe Lauzon on November 19, 2011 at UFC 138.[12] However, Oliveira next faced Donald Cerrone on August 14, 2011 at UFC on Versus 5, replacing an injured Paul Taylor.[13] He lost the fight via TKO (Strikes) at 3:01 of the 1st round. [14] His trainer has recently stated that after going 0-2-1 NC in his last 3 fights he plans on dropping to the Featherweight Division. [15]

Oliveira is expected to face Robbie Peralta on January 20, 2012 at UFC Fight Night 26.[16]
