Critics said UFC Fight Night 56 was a weak event, but in the end, the card produced the organization’s quickest main event knockout in more than seven years.

When opportunity finally knocked, he wanted to be ready for it. He hoped that opportunity would be a spot on the upcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 4,” but he never made it past the interview round of the recent auditions . However, the UFC soon offered something even better: a late-notice opportunity to fight on tonight’s UFC Fight Night 56 main card. “I’ve been feeling very happy over the last few days,” Oliveira told MMAjunkie
