Main event deep-dive — how Oliveira created the finish
The sequence: Gamrot’s pressure asked early questions, but Oliveira stayed composed, alternating long straight shots with intercept knees to punish level changes. After a series of clinch and mat exchanges in Round 2, Oliveira won the back-exposure battle and slid the arm under the chin for the rear-naked choke at 2:48. The Rio crowd detonated, and Oliveira’s in-cage celebration doubled as a statement that his submission game remains the most dangerous in UFC lightweight history.
Numbers in context: ESPN’s finals show 11/33 sig. for Oliveira vs 18/42 for Gamrot, but the telling stat is control time — Oliveira 3:35 vs Gamrot 1:00 — and the perfect 1/1 on takedowns apiece. Against a chain-wrestler who averages heavy attempts, neutralizing the scramble and stealing the back is the winning condition, and that’s exactly what defined the UFC Fight Night October 11 2025 results headline.
What it means: Beating a top-five grinder re-anchors Oliveira in the title queue after recent ups and downs. With Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria holding the year’s marquee gold, the lightweight picture heading into 2026 is fluid; Oliveira’s submission over Gamrot puts him in any shortlist conversation.
