Last weekend, Will Brooks was on the wrong end of an unfortunate situation when his opponent Alex Oliveira missed weight by five and a half pounds for their co-main event at UFC Fight Night 96. Brooks accepted the fight anyway and proceeded to lose in part due to a fracturing a rib in the first round. Then after the fight was stopped, Oliveira taunted Brooks as he was on the ground.
Oliveira's actions were not been well-received by many, least of all Brooks who recently went on the 5ive Rounds podcast with Brett Okamoto to discuss the entire situation, fighting Oliveira despite the weight issues, and his belief that Oliveira missed weight intentionally.
