Nik Lentz and Charles Oliveira stepped into the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 67 in Goiania, Brazil, on Saturday night, finally getting the rematch of their sour-tasting “no contest” bout from 2011.
Four years ago, they earned Fight of the Night honors for their back-and-forth affair at UFC Live on Versus 4. The original outcome was a victory for Oliveira, as he blasted Lentz with a knee to the face, continued to pour on the strikes, and then submitted him via rear-naked choke.
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission later change the outcome to a no-contest due to the fact that the knee that was the beginning of Lentz’s downfall was obviously illegal.
