TORONTO – Alex Oliveira believes Gunnar Nelson can be his springboard into title contention talk in the welterweight division. He just has to execute in the octagon at UFC 231. Oliveira (19-5-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC) meets Nelson (16-3-1 MMA, 7-3 UFC) on Saturday’s card having lost just once in his past eight UFC appearances. “Cowboy” has earned all but one of the victories in that stretch by stoppage, and if he can keep that run going against another respected foe, his position will enhance even further
