Alex Oliveira used his size advantage to manhandle Will Brooks at UFC Fight Night 96 on Saturday night in Portland, Ore., securing a TKO stoppage over the former Bellator lightweight champion. There was no love lost between Brooks and Oliveira coming into the fight, especially after Oliveira blew the weigh-in. He stepped on the scale 5.5 pounds over the 156-pound limit for a lightweight non-title fight. Brooks, however, agreed to take the fight at a catchweight and received 20 percent of Oliveira’s show money . It was quickly obvious that the extra weight was a factor in the fight, as Oliveira was visibly much bigger than Brooks. He immediately began to use his size to his advantage.
