Overview

• Charles Oliveira defeated short-notice replacement Mateusz Gamrot by second-round submission at UFC Rio, extending his UFC records for finishes and submissions.
• Oliveira immediately targeted a rematch with Max Holloway for the BMF belt, signaling flexibility on location and mentioning March as a workable timeframe.
• Holloway said he is interested but refuses to fight in Rio, floated March as plausible, and downplayed waiting for the proposed White House card as too far off.
• Gamrot accepted the bout after roughly 12 days of preparation and suffered the first stoppage loss of his career, with coach Mike Brown publicly backing his future title potential.
• Former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo edged Montel Jackson by split decision, and heavyweight Thomas Petersen reassured fans he is okay after a widely shared knockout loss.
