This is the live blog for Charles Oliveira vs. Mateusz Gamrot, the lightweight main event for Saturday’s UFC Rio fight card at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Oliveira, a former UFC lightweight champion, looks to bounce back from a brutal knockout loss to current champ Ilia Topuria in the headliner of June’s UFC 317 event. Oliveira is 2-3 in this past five, which includes a stoppage loss to Islam Makhachev for the 155-pound title at UFC 280 in October 2022, along with a decision loss to Arman
Tsarukyan at UFC 300, but also victories against Michael Chandler and Beneil Dariush.
Gamrot looks to make it two straight victories in the biggest fight of his career. “Gamer” defeated the streaking Ludovit Klein via decision in May to bounce back from a Fight of the Night loss to Dan Hooker at UFC 305 in August 2024. The former KSW champ is 4-1 over his past five outings.
