Oliveira says he won’t challenge Dalby loss, but his manager says he will appeal

The Brazilian ‘Cowboy’ does not like to hold a grudge.

Although referee Rebin Saber played a major part in Alex Oliveira’s loss to Nicolas Dalby at UFC Copenhagen, standing the fighters up in the third round while Oliveira was actively working from the top which gave Dalby a chance to steal the round and win the fight via unanimous decision, Alex prefers to focus on his future rather than on the past.

In an interview with Combate, Oliveira does state that Saber made a mistake that he believes cost him the fight, but sees no point in crying over the past, as frustrating as a result like that can be after going through all the sacrifices of a training camp.
