Holloway, celebrated for his striking prowess, hungered for a win that could catapult him into the division’s upper echelon. Meanwhile, Oliveira, a submission specialist known for his unyielding determination to finish, sought to conquer another opponent on his path to a title shot in 2016.

Regrettably, Oliveira suffered a painful shoulder/neck injury early in the first round while attempting a takedown. This unfortunate turn of events rendered him unable to continue the fight. With Oliveira’s forced exit, the victory was handed to Holloway through TKO. However, this victory was marked by uncertainty, lacking the definitive closure both fighters aimed for.
