UFC Fight Night 261 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro will be headlined by a lightweight clash between former champion Charles Oliveira and Mateusz Gamrot. It was a contest that Oliveira was reluctant to accept, as he was originally scheduled to face Rafael Fiziev. To the outsider, that might seem strange, given Oliveira’s reputation for taking on all comers.
