Report: Alex Oliveira vs. Tim Means 2 set for UFC Fortaleza

Welterweights Alex Oliveira and Tim Means have agreed to rematch in Brazil. Their first fight, at UFC 207, ended in a No Contest due to Means throwing illegal knees to a downed Oliveira's head. Combate reports that the pair will now meet again on March 11.

Alex Oliveira (16-3-1(2)) was on a two-fight winning streak prior to the No Contest, having TKO'd former Bellator lightweight champion, Will Brooks and defeated James Moontasri by unanimous decision in his last two outings. Oliveira's last loss came by submission when Donald Cerrone finished him with a triangle choke back in February 2016.
