Despite his struggles on the scale, Charles Oliveira will soldier on to fight Ricardo Lamas at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 98 mixed martial arts (MMA) event on FOX Sports 1, locked and loaded for Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico, on Sat., Nov. 5, 2016.
Lamas (16-5) was expected to fight BJ Penn last month in the Philippines; however, a rib injury benched “The Prodigy” and forced the promotion — unable to secure a late replacement — to shelve the event altogether and scatter the leftover fights across upcoming events. Oliveira (21-6, 1 NC), meanwhile, is coming off a submission loss to Anthony Pettis back in August.
