Rafaello Oliveira to get another chance in the octagon, decides to drop down to the featherweight division

Brazilian MMA star, Rafaello Oliveira has revealed that he’ll get another chance to make his mark inside the UFC’s octagon after taking a fight on short notice just a few weeks ago but he’ll be dropping down to the featherweight division when the fight rolls around.
Speaking via Tatame Magazine
“Joe Silva thanked me for having accepted the fight in such a short notice and was glad that I went there to fight anyway, to be in action against Tibau… I still am a UFC fighter… I’ll go down to the featherweight division, I want to be in UFC. I’ll do my best.”
Oliveira had been on an impressive four-fight winning streak heading into his fight with Tibau, only to be submitted in the second round via rear-naked choke after being dropped by a heavy punch. How with “Tractor” fare in the 145 pound ranks? We should find out the answer to that one before the year is out.
