Oliveira planning on post-UFC on Versus 5 hospital trip, hopes to share room with Cerrone
by John Morgan on Aug 11, 2011 at 1:05 pm ET
On paper, the upcoming lightweight matchup between Charles Oliveira (14-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Donald Cerrone (15-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) looks destined to provide 15 minutes of fireworks.

In practice, Oliveira promises the UFC on Versus 5 contest will deliver even more.

"This type of fight with 'Cowboy' is my favorite kind," Oliveira recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I believe the first round will be like 'Rocky 2,' the second round will be like Kung Fu Theater and the third will be like the movie 'The Matrix.' I think 'Cowboy' and I are going to give the fans a fight like they have never seen before."

It may sound a bit bold, but Oliveira might actually be right in his predictions for the Aug. 14 event, which takes place in Milwaukee and airs on Versus. The 21-year-old Oliveira has picked up three "Fight Night" bonuses in his four octagon outings, and Cerrone has earned an astounding six "Fight of the Night" bonuses during his time under the Zuffa banner.

"When I heard I was fighting 'Cowboy,' I was very happy," Oliveira said. "I knew this would be a very good and exciting fight for the fans. I think the winner and the loser are both going to the hospital afterward. I just hope they put us in the same room, so we can talk about the great fight we just had!

"'Cowboy' is a great fighter that has fought in the big fights. He is a very good striker, and I do not think he has any weaknesses."

Cerrone was originally expected to face Paul Taylor, but the Brit was forced to bow out of the matchup after suffering an injury in training. Oliveira said there was no hesitation to step in when his management presented the opportunity.

"My manager called and said, 'You are fighting 'Cowboy,'" Oliveira said. "I do not pick my opponents. I just fight.

"I train year round. You never know when the phone will ring and there is a good fight on the other end. I just stay ready."

A good fight – and important. While Oliveira burst onto the UFC scene with impressive wins over Darren Elkins and Efrain Escudero, he was submitted by Jim Miller and had a June win over Nik Lentz overturned to a no contest because of an illegal strike that went unrecognized by the bouts referee.

Despite the lack of positive results, Oliveira said he's still encouraged by his progress.

"I was very happy with my performance against Nik," Oliveira said. "I was fighting my style of fight – very aggressive and very fast. I did a lot of damage to Nik in the first round. The start of the second round, I saw Nik was hurt, tired, and slowing down.

"It was time to go for the finish, so I increased my aggression to get the finish. My aggression got me the advantage in the fight, but it also cost me the fight."

A lesser fighter might have looked for a lesser opponent. After all, a third-straight fight without a win could prove disastrous for the young Brazilian prospect that some were already calling "the next big thing."

Oliveira said he's unconcerned with anything other than what's right in front of his face.
