Charles Oliveira looks to bounce back from a brutal knockout loss to Ilia Topuria in the main event of UFC 317 as he faces former KSW champ, and top-10 lightweight Mateusz Gamrot in the main event of UFC Rio on Saturday. Although Oliveira is still super popular, is it a do-or-die moment for the former UFC lightweight champion?<\/p>\n
Ahead of the UFC\u2019s return to Brazil, MMA Fighting\u2019s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee preview the UFC Fight Night event, the headliner between Oliveira and Gamrot, and the stakes for both guys.
