The Brazilian will likely need to dig deep again against Justin Gaethje, one of the most aggressive fighters in any weight class. Oliveira ran into trouble in his lightweight title fights against Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier, rallying to beat both with a resolve that had been questioned earlier in his career. The fight against Gaethje will be the co-main event at UFC 274, along with Rose Namajunas's strawweight title defence against former champion Carla Esparza. If he wins on Sunday (AEST), he will be the number one contender and get a shot at winning the title back in his next fight. What was your job before you started fighting?
