Despite receiving much grief for missing weight by 5.5 pounds for his UFC Fight Night 96 appearance, Alex Oliveira managed to earn perhaps the biggest victory of his career when he defeated former Bellator champ Will Brooks . Oliveira (15-3-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) managed to halt the winning streak of Brooks (18-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with third-round TKO victory in the co-headlining bout at Moda Center in Portland, Ore., giving him a signature win on his resume that will certainty be overshadowed by the fact he came in significantly overweight then taunted a fallen Brooks afterward.
