Vinicius Oliveira defeats Ricky Simon by unanimous resolution (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
In simply two fights, Vinicius Oliveira has put himself on the cusp of cracking the High 15 within the rugged bantamweight division.
A member of final 12 months’s Dana White’s Contender Collection (DWCS) class, the 28-year-old Brazilian collected his second win of the 12 months in Saturday’s opener, out-working Ricky Simon over quarter-hour. “Lok Canine” managed the primary two rounds along with his hanging, and regardless of hurting his leg when Simon checked a kick late within the second, he continued to dictate the phrases of engagement and get the higher of issues within the third.
After a spotlight reel end in his promotional debut earlier this 12 months, Saturday’s win over Simon is a large assertion for the promising Brazilian. He’s now earned 4 consecutive wins total and firmly within the combine for being the “Rookie of the 12 months” within the UFC in 2024. | Official Scorecards
