Alex Oliveira vs. Mike Perry has “Fight of the Night” written all over it — and the Brazilian “Cowboy” is promising a dominant victory at Saturday’s UFC Ft. Lauderdale event.
The Tres Rios native welterweight is set to return to the Octagon less than six months after his submission loss to Gunnar Nelson, a rear-naked choke setback which Oliveira says may have well been a knockout loss to a “guy that tore my face” apart. “Cowboy” ended up being sidelined from training for just a few days until his 29 stitches were taken out and he was able to get back into the gym.
