Oh boy, have you heard? There’s a bantamweight showdown that’s just been thrown into the mix for UFC 303. It’s Vinicius Oliveira squaring off against Ricky Simon. And guess what? It’s happening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on June 29. Can you feel the excitement?
Now, here’s the scoop straight from the grapevine. Oliveira himself spilled the beans after some whispers from Ag.Fight. And if that’s not enough to get you hyped, the event’s headliner is a welterweight clash featuring none other than Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. Talk about a stacked card!
So, Oliveira, right? This guy made a splash in his UFC debut. Picture this: a flying knee knockout. Poor Bernardo Sopai didn’t see it coming at UFC Fight Night 238 back on March 2. Oliveira’s been on a tear, winning nine of his last 10 fights. The dude’s on fire.
Then there’s Ricky Simon. He’s not new to the game, having fought 12 times under the UFC banner. But, luck hasn’t been on his side recently, with losses to Yadong Song and Mario Bautista. Still, remember when he racked up five straight wins? Simon’s looking to get back to that form.
So, what do you think? Will Oliveira continue his rise, or will Simon turn the tide? June 29 can’t come soon enough.
