Alex Oliveira completes 11 months as a UFC fighter on Feb. 21, and he will celebrate it inside the Octagon.
Going for his fifth win in six bouts, the Brazilian "Cowboy" steps in on less than a month’s notice against Donald Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 83, and gets this opportunity thanks to his manager Alex Davis.
"I have to thank my manager Alex Davis for this fight with Cerrone. He always knew I wanted to fight Cerrone, and asked for it when he heard Tim Means was out. It’s my time now," Oliveira told MMAFighting.
