Alex Oliveira will continue training at ATT despite relationship with Will Brooks

Alex Oliveira scored the biggest win of his MMA career Saturday night in Portland, giving Will Brooks a third-round TKO loss at UFC Fight Night 96. However, what happened before and after the fight got more attention than the victory itself.

Oliveira missed weight by 5.5 pounds on Friday morning, which got his opponent fired up. The fight went on as a catchweight, and "Cowboy" stopped the former Bellator lightweight champion with 90 seconds left on the clock.

Moments after the finish, the Brazilian gave Brooks a "crotch chop" and walked away. He apologizes to the fans for his actions, but won’t apologize to his opponent.
