UFC Rio features Charles Oliveira vs Mateusz Gamrot, live from Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Saturday, October 11. The two fighters face off in a five-round main event at lightweight.
Former champion Oliveira (35-11, 1 NC) of Brazil looks to bounce back following a defeat to Ilia Topuria in June. Poland’s Gamrot (25-3, 1 NC), who stepped in as a replacement for Rafael Fiziev, is coming off a unanimous decision win over Ludovit Klein in May.
The co-main event is a bantamweight bout between Deiveson Figueiredo and Montel Jackson. Brazil’s former flyweight champion Figueiredo (24-5-1) aims to rebound from two defeats in a row, while Jackson (15-2) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is looking for his seventh straight victory.
Also on the card is a welterweight bout between Vicente Luque (23-11-1) of Brazil and Joel Alvarez (22-3) of Spain. A heavyweight contest features Brazil’s Jhonata Diniz (9-1) against Mario Pinto (10-0) of Portugal. Plus, Ricardo Ramos (17-7) and Australia’s Kaan Ofli (12-4-1) clash at featherweight.
