DWCS 64 video: Vinicius Oliveira flattens Victor Madrigal, brings pen to Dana White during celebration
Vinicius Oliveira came prepared in more ways than one to win a UFC contract.
Kicking off the festivities at Dana White’s Contender Series 64, Oliveira (19-3) made a statement against Victor Madrigal. In the first round, Oliveira landed a devastating left hook that sent Madrigal (12-4) crashing to the canvas for a walkoff knockout.
To put the icing on the cake, someone from Oliveira’s team tossed him a writing pen, and then the Brazilian bantamweight went over to UFC CEO Dana White, signaling that he’s ready to sign his UFC contract.
