SIR
UFC on ESPN+ 9 takes place May 18 at Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester Community War Memorial. The event streams on ESPN+.
In a featured bout, lightweights Charles Oliveira (26-8 MMA, 14-8 UFC) and Nik Lentz (30-9-1 MMA, 14-6-1 UFC) will face off a third time in a rivalry that stretches over eight years and two fights. Oliveira is on a tear that includes four consecutive submission victories, while Lentz has won his past two. The last time they met, in 2015, Oliveira got the third-round tap.
Not sure why we need to see this pairing for a third time. Plenty of new/fresh matchups for both guys. I know that he has folded when he has faced top flight competition, but Oliveira should be facing a top 15 opponent and give Lentz another legit opponent, just not someone he has already faced twice before.
