Oliveira immediately came out with something to prove, setting an unforgiving pace that overwhelmed "Pletwal." Hallmann ate a series of uppercuts in the clinch and some heavy punches throughout the duration of the initial frame.
In the second round, Oliveira's efforts to finish the bout were stunted by a well-timed takedown from Hallmann, who was able to connect on some hard right hands. However, the 27-year-old withstood the offensive and eventually took the back of Hallmann, but slipped off, nullifying any momentum he had built in the process.
Finally, in round three, it came time for Oliveira to put a definitive stamp on what had been a mostly fun tilt up until that point by landing a crisp right flush on the jaw of Hallmann.
