Saturday evening, the UFC returns to Rio de Janeiro for the third consecutive year, bringing a 13-fight card to Farmasi Arena, headlined by one of the most beloved Brazilian competitors in the promotion’s history. Former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira competes in his home nation for the first time in more than five years, where he’ll square off with Polish standout Mateusz Gamrot. UFC Fight Night: Oliveira vs Gamrot goes down this Saturday, October 11, live from Rio de Janeiro. Prelims start at 4pm ET/1pm PT, followed by the main card at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Main event scheduled for five rounds, all other bouts scheduled for three rounds.

Ramos opened the contest by chasing a series of leg locks, getting deep on a kneebar at one point that left Ofli scrambling to get free. When he did, the Ultimate Fighter finalist climbed on Ramos’ back and immediately started hunting for submissions of his own, eventually fishing his forearm under the chin and squeezing out the tap. Just a tenacious and technical victory for Ofli, who fell to Mairon Santos in the TUF 32 finale and dropped a decision to Muhammad Naimov last time out. This was a terrific way for the new dad to collect his first UFC win.

The 34-year-old Gamrot raised his hand to replace Rafael Fiziev when the talented striker was forced out of the main event with a knee injury. “Gamer” earned a unanimous decision win over Ludovit Klein earlier this year and touches down in Brazil having won four of his last five to cement his standing as a Top 10 talent in the 155-pound weight class. Business is picking up in the lightweight ranks at the moment, and this is one of the matchups that will have an obvious impact on how things line up heading into the final couple of months of 2025. Oliveira has never lost consecutive bouts at lightweight, while Gamrot is looking to force his way into the title conversation with a win.

The former flyweight champion Figueiredo began his bantamweight journey with three straight wins, but has subsequently lost two in a row, most recently falling to Cory Sandhagen due to injury in a bout where he struggled to find success. Now 37 years old, it’ll be interesting to see how “Deus Da Guerra” responds following his recent struggles and injury earlier this year as he steps in with an ascending talent. Jackson has quietly had an outstanding run since earning a place on the roster with a win on the opening week of Season 2 of Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS), posting a 9-2 mark overall. “Quik” has won six straight heading into this one and carries a considerable height and reach advantage over the comparatively diminutive Brazilian here.

Ofli advanced to the featherweight finale on Season 32 of The Ultimate Fighter, defeating Nathan Fletcher and Roedie Roets before falling to Mairon Santos and landing the silver medal. He made his post-TUF debut in February, landing on the wrong side of the cards in a clash with Muhammad Naimov, and returns here searching for his first victory in 32 months. Ramos’ last appearance in his home country was his UFC featherweight debut, where he registered a first-round submission win over Luiz Eduardo Garagorri, earning a Performance of the Night bonus in the process. He’s just 3-5 since, having dropped three of his last four, to fall to fall to 8-6 inside the Octagon and 17-7 overall.
