Charles Oliveira scored his 17th career submission inside the Octagon in the UFC Rio headliner on Saturday night.
Oliveira came out swinging early, connecting with a one-two. That prompted Gamrot to shoot for a takedown, dragging ‘Do Bronx’ to the mat with ease. With his back to the mat, Oliveira immediately went to work fishing for submissions.
Oliveira nearly locked in an omopata, prompting Gamrot to scramble and give up his back. Oliveira attempted to lock in a rear-naked choke, but Gamrot did a good job of defending throughout the remainder of the first round.
