Overview
- Oliveira won by second-round submission in the UFC Fight Night 261 main event at Rio’s Farmasi Arena, extending his UFC records for most finishes and most submissions.
- Gamrot took the bout on roughly 12 days’ notice after Rafael Fiziev withdrew through injury, and he was finished for the first time in his 30-fight professional career.
- Fresh off the win, Oliveira publicly targeted a rematch with Holloway for the BMF title and floated March as a timeline, saying he was willing to fight outside Brazil.
- Holloway responded on a live stream that he is open to the matchup, ruled out returning to Rio, prefers a site like Las Vegas, and suggested he does not want to wait for a potential White House card.
- The victory marked Oliveira’s rebound less than four months after a knockout loss to Ilia Topuria, and some commentators noted a possible McGregor return could complicate Holloway–Oliveira scheduling.
