UFC 283 video: Daniel Marcos punishes Saimon Oliveira with hellacious knee to midsection

In the UFC 283 preliminary card opener, Peru’s Daniel Marcos made quite the first impression when he schooled Saimon Oliveira.

RIO DE JANEIRO – [autotag]Daniel Marcos[/autotag] made quite the first impression Saturday when he put on a clinic at UFC 283.

In the UFC 283 preliminary card opener, Marcos (14-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) defeated [autotag]Saimon Oliveira[/autotag] (18-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC) with a brutal series of strikes for a TKO stoppage at 2:18 of Round 2. The event took place at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

A methodical dismantling by Peru’s Marcos was topped off by a crumpling knee to the body of Oliveira, who keeled over in pain. Marcos swarmed with some follow-up shots but the damage was already done. Referee Fernando Portella jumped in and waved off the fight.

Marcos, 29, signed with the UFC after a contract-earning performance on Dana White’s Contender Series. The bout was his first since 2019. In 14 pro fights, Marcos has eight finishes.

Oliveira, 31, falls into a two-fight skid. The defeat was the first stoppage loss of his professional career.

DWCS contract winner Saimon Oliveira plans on staying in Las Vegas for quick turnaround

Saimon Oliveira won’t be flying home to Brazil to celebrate after earning a UFC contract at Dana White’s Contender Series 38.

LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Saimon Oliveira[/autotag] won’t be flying home to celebrate after earning his UFC contract.

Brazil’s Oliveira (18-3) plans on staying in the U.S. after his hard-fought split decision win over Jose Alday at Dana White’s Contender Series 38 on Tuesday in order to maximize his chance to jump in for his promotional debut as soon as possible.

“I’m ready to fight, and I even told my master, if we get this contract, I’m not going back to Brazil,” Oliveira said at the post-fight news conference. “I can stay here. If they call me for next week in the card, I’ll be here, and I said this before and I’ll say it again: I have more to show. I’m ready to fight, just call me up.”

He continued, “I’m not gonna be here looking for strategy, for points, trying to hold up a fight. My idea to come here is to always fight because that’s what I’m good at. That’s what I like. As another Brazilian joins the UFC, there’s gonna be someone because we fight with our hearts in Brazil, so that’s what they’re getting. They’re getting a fighter.”
