Fortunes changed for five at UFC Sao Paulo

On a show where the oldest major record in the UFC books was broken, and two longtime stars retired, there was also a late main event change that may have in some form benefited both fighters.

Charles Oliveira, who has bounced around the lightweight and featherweight division since 2010, scored his 11th UFC submission win on Saturday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Oliveira stopped Christos Giagos with a choke in the second round. The record Oliveira shared at 10 going into the fight was set by Royce Gracie, whose last UFC submission came in 1994, in the old tournament days.
