In anticipation of Charles Oliveira's lightweight championship title defense against Dustin Poirier on Saturday night (Dec. 11), the UFC has released a new Fight Pass Video on the titleholder that features his win in a match race against Tim Tetrick at Yonkers Raceway on July 13.
The feature, which starts and ends with the match race, chronicles the significant obstacles that Oliveira has overcome including juvenile arthritis, a neck injury that caused temporary paralysis, and other injuries on his journey to becoming a UFC champion.
The video and Saturday's pay-per-view event are both available through the UFC’s paid subscription site — UFC Fight Pass. To see the USTA-produced trailer for the full-length UFC video, click the play button below.
