Will the strong Brazilian score a record 15th submission over the cool American from Florida to retain his shining belt?
Or will the more-popular Dustin Poirier stun and dethrone the dangerous Oliveira to become the new UFC Lightweight champion of world?
We’ve got to find out!
The show is promoted by the UFC live on PPV.
May the Best Man Win!
