Welterweight banger Alex Oliveira is not too impressed by his next opponent’s undefeated record. Paired up against newcomer Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 254, ‘Cowboy’ believes he will be the first fighter to give the Kazakh a real hard time in the cage.
In an interview with Combate, Oliveira talked about his intentions in the division. First, Cowboy wants to finish Rakhmonov to end the year with three wins, then he intends to be matched up against any man in the division’s top 15 and begin a new climb towards the elite from there.
“It means a lot to me to finish the year with three blessings,” Oliveira said.
