The UFC returns today, Oct. 11, to one of the world’s hotbeds of MMA as they host an event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for UFC Fight Night 261: Oliveira vs. Gamrot

Charles Oliveira and Mateusz Gamrot headline the card in a high-stakes contender clash that might determine a future title challenger in an incredibly stacked lightweight division. Despite one of the fights getting cancelled due to a positive drug test, the entire fight card is filled with Brazilian talent and has the makings of potentially being one of the most thrilling cards this year that don’t fall under the pay-per-view category.
