Filed under: News , UFC , Videos Alex Oliveira and his team are open to a rematch following a controversial no-contest against Tim Means in the UFC Fight Pass-streamed opener of UFC 207. But before that happens, Oliveira plans to appeal the bout’s official result , arguing it should have been ruled a disqualification win because Means landed illegal knees and later admitted he intended to throw them. “This is wrong, and these thing have to be straightened out,” Oliveira manager Alex Davis on Friday told MMAjunkie. “It costs too much of these guys’ lives to let things go like that.” Oliveira (16-3-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was taken backstage in a stretcher immediately after the bout, but Davis said the fighter was checked out at a local hospital and was not seriously injured. Davis claims after the bout was stopped by referee Dan Miragliotta, who watch Means (26-7-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC) land the illegal knee, the overseeing Nevada State Athletic Commission did not allow him to rewatch the controversial sequence
