Alex Oliveira will have to settle for just one victory over Tim Means.
Oliveira and Means fought for the first time at UFC 207 in Las Vegas on Dec. 30. The bout ended when Means connected with multiple illegal knees to a grounded Oliveira’s head and Oliveira was unable to continue.
At the time, referee Dan Miragliotta ruled the bout a no-contest, deeming that Means threw the fight-ending illegal knees unintentionally. Oliveira’s team attempted to appeal that result in an effort to get it overturned to a no disqualification, arguing that the knees are intentional.
