wingzero8717 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 This kid Oliveira has only had 13 MMA fights but the kid really impressed me hes only 20 years old if he can develop his standup i can see him being the LW champion sooner rather than later. I havent been this excited over a young prospect since BJ burst onto the scene so many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent been this excited over a young prospect since BJ burst onto the scene so many years ago. yeah hes got some sick BJJ but so does Maia and look what happened when he got to the top. But he is young, if he can become more well rounded he could be a force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasCityKing Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 The dudes a stud but I won't call him the best prospect until he gets through Escudero. That kid isn't the easiest stepping stone in the LW division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufc_90 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 i think that he will be champ one day but not soon. maybe in a couple years and yeah he needs good stand up too. we have'nt seen his standup yet in the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonesbonesbones Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I knew no good would come of his super quick win... 1 year and he'll have the biggest bandwagon ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForrestGriffinFan101 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Oliveira is quickly becoming my favorite prospect. He's so freakin good at jiu-jitsu and his striking isn't bad either if you watch some of his fights. Along with have a 13-0 pro record he had about a 30-0 record as an ameteur. Here's a sick grappling match vid of his. Skip to 2:11 to see an awesome finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuraiHart Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 He is a stud, but let's not overhype him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
