Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight athletes Will Brooks and Alex Oliveira collided last night (Oct. 1, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 96 inside Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
Brooks’ dominant run through Bellator finally resulted in a UFC contract a few months back, and he quickly made a successful debut opposite Ross Pearson. Opposite the Brazilian "Cowboy," Brooks was looking to keep the ball rolling en route to the top of the division.
This was supposed to be a massive opportunity for Oliveira, but he ruined that quite a bit by missing weight so drastically. Nonetheless, Oliveira walked into the cage motivated to pick up the biggest win of his career.
