One of welterweight’s most entertaining action fighters is on his way out of the UFC. Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira fought out his contract with the world’s largest MMA promotion against Kevin Holland back at UFC 272 in March and, following his removal from the promotion’s website, MMA Junkie has confirmed that the UFC has made the decision not to sign the Brazilian fighter to a new deal.
First debuting against Gilbert Burns, back at Maia vs. LaFlare in 2015, Oliveira made 22 trips to the Octagon over the last seven years. That included victories over Tim Means, Carlos Condit, and former Bellator champion Will Brooks, on his way to a 11-10 (1 NC) record with the UFC.
