Dominates opponent to earn contract
Oliveira defeated Victor Valenzuela via TKO (punches) at 3:56 of Round 2 at Dana White's Contender Series on Tuesday. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be officially awarded a UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Oliveira was on a mission in this one, pressuring his opponent immediately before letting loose with powerful combinations to the body and head. While he looks like a dangerous offensive fighter who knows what he wants to do in the cage, there is an air of invulnerability from the undefeated prospect, who seems content to eat strikes and continue moving forward. This could turn into a liability in one of the sport's heavier weight classes. Oliveira improved to 9-0-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
