The UFC just pulled back the curtain on its stacked UFC 335 card for December 12, and get this: Charles Oliveira is stepping into the Octagon to defend his BMF title against Diego Lopes. That’s right, the BMF belt is on the line, and this matchup is gonna be wild.
Oliveira and Lopes Set to Ignite the Octagon
Oliveira, our reigning BMF champ at 36 years old, is coming off that massive win against Max Holloway at UFC 326 back in March, where he snagged the title. His career record is no joke, sitting at 37,11-1, and he holds the UFC records for most finishes with 21 and most submissions at 17. The guy is a machine, plain and simple. Now he’s got Diego Lopes, a 31-year-old making the jump up to lightweight from featherweight. Lopes is coming in hot after he knocked out Steve Garcia at UFC Freedom 250, bumping his career to 28-8. This isn’t just a fight, it’s a test for both guys. Can Oliveira keep that BMF status, or is Lopes ready to shock the world in a new weight class?
Pereira’s Heavyweight Return & More Must-See Bouts
And if the main event wasn’t enough, get this co-main: Alex Pereira is stepping back into the heavyweight division for his second fight there. The 39-year-old, who’s 13-4 for his career, is still chasing a title in a third different weight class, even after that loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250. He’s facing Sergei Pavlovich, a 34-year-old absolute wrecking ball who’s on a three-fight winning streak. Pavlovich’s record is 21-3, with big wins over Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Waldo Cortes Acosta, and Tallison Teixeira. That fight alone is worth the price of admission. Plus, we’ve got Joe Pyfer taking on Bo Nickal and Brandon Moreno battling Charles Johnson at flyweight. UFC 335 is shaping up to be an absolute must-watch.
So mark your calendars for December 12, because UFC 335 is bringing the heat. We’ve got the BMF title on the line, heavyweight sluggers, and a whole lot of action. You don’t want to miss a single second of this one.
