No longer fighting Bannon
Oliveira will no longer fight Shauna Bannon at UFC 304 on Jul. 27, and Alice Ardelean will instead take the match, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The reason for Oliveira's withdraw remains unknown, but it will pave way to Ardelean getting her UFC debut. Oliveira has not yet won a UFC match, losing to Tainara Lisboa via unanimous decision in her sole UFC fight back in 2023, so she has much left to prove in whatever professional fighting campaign her future holds.

Draws Bannon in Manchester
Oliveira will take on Shauna Bannon in a strawweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for July 27 in Manchester, England, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Oliveira made her UFC debut at bantamweight in July of 2023, falling to Bruna Brasil via unanimous decision. She'll now be dropping down two weight classes to strawweight, though her height and reach measurements are equivalent to those of Bannon. Bannon also dropped her UFC debut via unanimous decision to Tainara Lisboua last October.

Hangs tough in debut loss
Oliveira lost to Tainara Lisboa via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Stepping in on short notice as a +240 underdog, Oliveira struggled for ten minutes before improving in Round 3. She was competitive for a portion of the opening frame before spending 4:47 of 5:00 in Round 2 on her back. It was abundantly clear at that point she needed a stoppage to win, and while it never materialized, Oliveira did land an impressive takedown and did some solid work on the mat in the final frame. The 26-year-old Brazilian has just ten professional fights under her belt, so it's reasonable to expect some improvement her next time out.
