By FCF Staff
The UFC is heading back to Brazil in October, and the card will feature one of that nation’s most accomplished fighters, as Charles Oliveira will battle Rafael Fiziev.
Recently, the UFC announced that Brazil’s Oliveira will face Azerbaijan’s Fiziev in the main event of its October 11th card in Rio de Janeiro.
Oliveira (35-11) is looking to get back on track, as he was knocked out by Ilia Topuria in June, in a contest that was for the vacant lightweight title. The former champ recorded a unanimous decision win over Michael Chandler, prior to that.
Fiziev (13-4), meanwhile, recently snapped a three-fight losing skid by scoring a unanimous decision win over Ignacio Bahamondes.
Currently, Oliveira is ranked #4 in the UFC’s lightweight division, and Fiziev is ranked #10.
