“I still don’t know when it will be my return,” Oliveira said. “It can be August, September or even in October when I was told that UFC is planning an event in Sao Paulo. If they need me to fill up the house, I´ll be ready.”
Nothing Official
The interview drew an immediate reaction on social media from Brazilian fans, since the UFC has not yet announced plans for an event in the country this year. Sherdog.com spoke to UFC sources in Brazil who did not officially confirm Oliveira´s statement.
“Do Bronxs” finished the interview by correctly predicting the outcome of the UFC 328 main event, where Sean Strickland captured middleweight gold with a split-decision triumph over Khamzat Chimaev.
“Khamzat starts strong, but if the fight goes to the championship rounds, Strickland has good chances to surprise the favorite and win,” Oliveira said.
