Another Saturday. Another continent.

The UFC is continuing a globe-trotting fall season with its third show in three weeks, this time setting up shop at the Farmasi Arena in Rio De Janeiro, where Brazilian hero Charles Oliveira defends his place in the lightweight pecking order along with his pristine record on home turf.

The ex-155-pound champion, now ranked fourth in the weight class, takes on eighth-ranked contender Mateusz Gamrot, who stepped in last month when No. 10 Rafael Fiziev pulled out of the bout due to injury.

Oliveira, whose last bout four months ago was a failed title bid against current champ Ilia Topuria, has never lost in Brazil, winning 17 times overall including six times in the UFC—most recently a third-round choke-out of Kevin Lee on a Fight Night show five years ago in Brasilia.

“It’s not something we have it in our minds all the time,” Oliveira told Bleacher Report. “But I’ll tell you what, I’m very happy to have been 6-0 here and we’re hoping to make it 7-0 now.”

The B/R combat team is in position to take in all the action and deliver a real-time list of the show’s definitive winners and losers. Take a look at what we come up with and drop a thought of your own in the app comments.
