Charles Oliveira vs. Nik Lentz trilogy bout set for UFC Rochester

A trilogy bout between Charles Oliveira and Nik Lentz was added to the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Rochester, N.Y., on May 18, the fighters announced via social media.

Oliveira and Lentz met for the first time in June 2011 and the Brazilian won via second-round submission. However, the bout was later overturned to a no-contest due to an illegal knee that landed moments before the finish.

A rematch was booked for May 2015, and Oliveira got the finish with a third-round guillotine choke.

“The Carnie” (30-9-2, 1 no contest) enters the trilogy bout coming off a second-round TKO victory over Gray Maynard and a recent decision win against Scott Holtzman.
