At the beginning of March, Vinicius Oliveira left a beautiful calling card by starring as a strong candidate for knockout of the year in his Ultimate debut. And, apparently, the organization’s top brass saw potential in the Brazilian. After all, his next appearance – only his second in the league – will already be against a ranked opponent. ‘Lok Dog’, as he is known, faces Ricky Simon at UFC 303, scheduled for June 29, in Las Vegas (USA).

Simon, in turn, will have to defend his 15th position in the bantamweight rankings (61 kg) coming from a negative sequence of two defeats in the organization.
Card led by McGregor
UFC 303, scheduled to be held during the traditional ‘International Fight Week’, will feature a main attraction that matches the magnitude of the card. Having been away for almost three years, Conor McGregor makes his long-awaited return to MMA against Michael Chandler. Former featherweight (66 kg) and lightweight (70 kg) champion of the entity, the loud-mouthed Irishman will compete in the welterweight (77 kg) category against ‘Iron’.
