Charles Oliveira Face Crank Closes Out Mateusz Gamrot in UFC Rio Main Event

Charles Oliveira did what he does best.

The ex-Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder dismissed Mateusz Gamrot with a face crank in the second round of their UFC Fight Night 261 headliner on Saturday at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Oliveira (36-11, 24-11 UFC) brought it to a close 2:48 into Round 2, a crowd full of his raucous countryman roaring its approval.

A late replacement for Rafael Fiziev, Gamrot (25-4, 8-4 UFC) struck for a takedown inside the first minute and immediately found himself in danger.
