Gets new opponent
Oki will now fight Timothy Cuamba at UFC Vegas 86 on Saturday, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Damir Hadzovic was forced to withdraw from the fight for undisclosed reasons, so Oki will now face Cuamba in what will be both fighters' UFC debuts. Oki and Cuamba both enter with 8-1 professional records, but Oki will have much fresher legs with Cuamba's last fight having been on Friday.

UFC debut scheduled
Oki is scheduled to fight Damir Hadzovic in a lightweight fight at UFC Vegas 86 on Feb. 10, per Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
Oki earned a UFC contract with his performance in one of Dana White's Contender Series shows. For his first fight, the lightweight will fight an individual who has not fought since 2022 and last won a bout in 2021. Hadzovic should be no softball though, as his 14-7 MMA record can attest.

Earns contract with huge TKO
Oki defeated Dylan Salvador via KO/TKO (punches and knees) at 2:46 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of three fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Salvador was the decorated kickboxer in this matchup, but it was Oki who looked the part, dictating with his pressure early before finding a counter shot that led to a barrage of body shots that folded his opponent and forced the referee to step in. Lightweight is known for being one of the most competitive divisions in the UFC, but the 27-year-old should be able to use his athleticism, creativity, and combination punching to feel right at home while attempting to crack the top 15.
