Overview

• UFC has yet to announce a replacement for Rafael Fiziev, who withdrew from the Oct. 11 headliner in Rio de Janeiro.
• Charles Oliveira publicly complained that some fighters who called him out declined when approached, naming Benoit Saint Denis and Renato Moicano.
• Oliveira said he does not want Mateusz Gamrot on short notice due to a wrestler-heavy style that differs from his camp preparation.
• Gamrot declared he accepted the fight and traveled to American Top Team to prepare, urging Oliveira to face him.
• Featherweight contender Diego Lopes said he would accept a short-notice bout with Oliveira if offered, as the card also took a hit with Randy Brown withdrawing against Gabriel Bonfim.
