Background

Born and raised in Três Rios, Rio de Janeiro, Oliveira worked for a time as a construction worker and bull rider before he starting training in martial arts. [5] Oliveira had three brothers – of whom two deceased due to violent crime – and four sisters. [1] He also trained in Muay Thai for a couple of years before switching to mixed martial arts at the age of 22. [1]

Mixed martial arts career

Fighting out of Três Rios, he made his professional debut competing in the welterweight division in December 2011. He compiled a record of 11–2–1 (1), including a two-fight stint for Bitetti Combat while competing exclusively for regional promotions in his native Brazil. After taking a unanimous decision victory over Joilton Santos, Oliveira signed with the UFC in early 2015. [6]
