ABU DHABI – Alex Oliveira says his troublesome times are in the past going into his UFC on ESPN 14 matchup with Peter Sobotta. Oliveira (20-8-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) had a stretch to forget inside the octagon from late 2018 through 2019. “Cowboy” revealed some person problems carried over inside the octagon and led to three straight losses, but after kicking off the year with a split decision win over Max Griffin in March, he said he’s ready to get some momentum going in his welterweight matchup with Sobotta (17-6-1 MMA, 4-5 UFC) on Saturday. “I was going through a rough phase in my career but it gave me the chance to get back on track,” Oliveira told reporters, including MMA Junkie, through an interpreter on Tuesday at UFC on ESPN 14 media day.
