Ravena Oliveira
Kenoudy
Brazil
Falls to 0-4 with UFC
Oliveira lost to Juliana Miller via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:38 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering with an 0-3 mark with the UFC and as a +265 underdog, Oliveira again wasn't competitive outside of the rare moments early in the fight when the two women were on the feet. The second Miller made a concerted effort to get this one to the mat, Oliveira was done. Ravena entered with seven straight stoppage wins on her resume prior to her company arrival, but she simply hasn't been able to find her footing at the highest level. It's highly doubtful she will be granted a fourth opportunity with the promotion.

Still searching for first UFC win
Oliveira lost to Shanelle Dyer via TKO (strikes) at 1:17 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Oliveira returned from a two-year layoff and was submitted by Stephanie Luciano in October. She was arguably less competitive here, barely making it into Round 2 before being put away. Oliveira struggled with the speed of Dyer, constantly seemingly to get off second in the striking exchanges between the two. A barrage of knees and several unanswered shots led to the finish. Now 0-3 with the UFC, the odds are against Oliveira being granted a fourth opportunity.

Falls in return from long layoff
Oliveira lost to Stephanie Luciano via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:50 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
This looked like a terrible matchup for Oliveira on paper, and it played out exactly that way inside the Octagon. Ravena has very limited power and tends to stay to the outside. That was a major issue against an opponent in Luciano with far more speed and simply more ways to win. Oliveira was dominated on the feet throughout before giving up a pair of takedowns and getting submitted in Round 3. Now 0-2 in the UFC and have competed just twice in the last two-plus years, Oliveira could be a release candidate.
