Today the new king of the UFC lightweight class was decided: Oliveira, a name that is both familiar and unfamiliar, familiar because he is the top player in UFC jiu-jitsu technology, strange because last year you could not take his name, associated with the championship, Oliveira completed a perfect martial arts player struggle history.
He's not like the "mouth cannon" Connor who is a blockbuster and soars all the way, and he is not the "kitty hawk" Habib, who has perfect crushing technology. Oliveira rose from defeat, from being given high hopes for newcomers, to falling into the low tide of mediocrity, through diligence, and finally completely exploded, proving for jiu-jitsu players in the UFC that not only wrestling is king.
To mention Oliveira's record, the first eight years of the UFC were 10 wins and 8 losses, which was in the light weight of the talented, he could only swim on the edge of the top fifteen ranking athletes, and completed 9 wins and 0 losses in the past three years, both after "Kitty" Habib and "Night Devil" Ferguson, another athlete who played the dominant data in the lightweight level. Oliveira did not miss a single opportunity on the road to kingship!
Today, Ferguson is old, although countless boxing fans want Ferguson to stand up in the game, but the same night's game is regrettable, he has repeatedly laid down the defense, as the time of the round passes, his expression is full of helplessness. Ferguson eventually lost to ninth-placed "Darius" Benier, with no clear advantage in three rounds.
Going back to Oliveira, he is facing the physically strong "Iron Man" Chandler, the game began to be the climax, Chandler dared to use confident wrestling skills to deal with Oliveira, but he did not expect an accident in the standing stage, Oliveira began the second round, knocked him down with a precise heavy punch, and finally won the victory with TKO. At the moment of winning the championship, Oliveira was completely released, he flew out of the octagon cage and everyone celebrated, grabbed the equipment of the live broadcast, and touched the blood of the struggle to the cheek of UFC Chairman Bai Dana...
Oliveira once said, "Habib did not feel my skills, I retired", if this is Connor's money war, I am afraid it will not arouse any interest in Habib's comeback, but if it is Jiu-Jitsu vs Sambo, maybe Hawks will not be able to sit still, to touch who is the real king.
