UFC on ESPN+ 10 results: Charles Oliveira finishes Nik Lentz again

Another fight, another finish for Charles Oliveira.

And another victory over Nik Lentz.

“Do Bronx” owns the UFC’s submission record with 13, but on Saturday night he scored his first knockout since 2010. Oliveira (27-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) capped an unusual trilogy with Lentz (30-10-1 MMA, 14-7-1 UFC) by earning the finish at 2:11 of the second round at UFC on ESPN+ 10.

With the victory, Oliveira is now tied with Vitor Belfort and Anderson Silva for second most finishes in UFC history at 14. The trio trails Donald Cerrone’s 16.

Oliveira was the aggressor from the outset. While the opening round wasn’t fought at a whirlwind pace, when the duo did engage, Oliveira was quicker on the draw and landing a wider variety of strikes, while a bloody Lentz was content to throw single jabs.

Things certainly didn’t get any better for Lentz in the second, as Oliveira continued to turn up the heat. After a timeout due to an illegal Oliveira upkick, Oliveira dropped Lentz with a wicked straight right and then poured it on until the bout was waved off.

That’s five straight wins and six out of seven for Oliveira, and you didn’t need an interpreter for the Sao Paulo native to know he’s tired of trilogy fights which won’t get him anywhere.

“Let’s stop playing around,” Oliveira said. “It’s time for a top-five fighter.”

The duo’s first bout in 2011 was an Oliveira win, which was overturned to a no contest due to an illegal knee. Oliveira won the 2015 rematch via third-round submission.

The lightweight bout was part of the main card for UFC on ESPN+ 10 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y.

Javier Mendez disagrees with Daniel Cormier’s claim that Islam Makhachev more dangerous than Khabib Nurmagomedov
