“Hey, I promise you. I am gonna get this back!” Oliveira said in the post-fight Octagon interview. “Hey Dana, Hey Hunter, I have never denied a fight, I have always been there for you no matter what. Give me another fight. I need to be the next guy. Give me the chance.” Oliveira added. (Translated) .
