Frankie Edgar ‘s quest for a title in a second weight class continues a week from now, but the former lightweight champ must first get by Charles Oliveira at UFC 162. Oliveira (16-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) and Edgar (15-4-1 MMA, 9-4-1 UFC) co-headline the July 6 pay-per-view event, which takes place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. After falling short to champ Jose Aldo after a move to featherweight, Edgar looks to regroup against one of the division’s more entertaining fighters. Although Oliveira has won just four of his seven UFC bouts, the Brazilian has picked up four fight-night bonuses and put together an impressive highlight reel. In the above video, you can see Oliveira fight Darren Elkins in his 2010 UFC debut, which resulted in his first “Submission of the Night” bonus.
