Profile
Overview
Vinicius Oliveira has been finished once in the UFC, and the man who did it was Mario Bautista, with Oliveira in the main event. Everything else on his UFC ledger is a win. The featherweight from Porto Alegre is 5-1 in the UFC, with two knockouts and three decisions, and he carries a one-fight win streak into his next appearance.
His 24-4-0 professional record includes fights outside the UFC, so the 5-1 is the number that matters here.
A strong start, one hard setback, and a bounce back.
UFC Career
Oliveira's path to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series 7.8, where he stopped Victor Madrigal in the first round at 3:02. That was a professional win, but it sits outside his UFC record.
His UFC debut came in March 2024 against Benardo Sopaj, and he won by KO/TKO in the third round at 4:41. He followed that with unanimous decisions over Ricky Simon, Said Nurmagomedov and Kyler Phillips. Our model rates all three as strong opponents, so this was not a soft run of decisions. Four straight wins is his longest UFC streak.
Then came the main event against Mario Bautista, another strong opponent. Oliveira lost by submission in round 2 at 4:46, and it is the only blemish on his UFC record.
He answered by knocking out Andre Fili in round 2 at 4:56, four seconds from the end of the round.
Fighting Style
Oliveira is a busy striker who is hard to hit. He lands far more strikes per minute than most UFC fighters and absorbs fewer than most, and his striking defense is solid too.
He is tough to take down, but he rarely goes looking for the takedown himself. He seldom hunts for submissions, so he is not a grappler. His only submission result in the UFC is a loss.
His finishes come late, not early. His two UFC knockouts landed in rounds 2 and 3, and he has no first-round finishes. Three of his five UFC wins went to the judges.
