Takes loss despite late surge
Oliveira lost to Vanessa Demopoulos via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Vegas 65 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Oliviera tried to use her stalking karate style to overwhelm Demopoulos, but it became clear early that she was unable to get back to her feet after being taken down. The Brazilian fighter was able to corner a tired Demopoulos and unload shots at the end of Round 3, but she had taken so much damage on the ground in the previous two frames that the end result was a foregone conclusion. "Spider-girl" will be dangerous against anyone at distance, but she will not survive at this level without some serious improvements in her takedown defense and ground game. She falls to 13-6-0 in professional MMA due to the loss.

Secures first UFC victory
Oliveira defeated Gloria de Paula via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
Oliveira is officially in the UFC win column. Whether or not she deserved the victory is up for debate. Lacking the technical prowess of de Paula on the feet, Oliveira attempted to close the gap by firing off a ton of volume. She attempted 303 total strikes compared to just 205 from her opponent. Oliveira landed 17 less total strikes (116-99), to give you an idea of how inefficient she was. Her pace also dipped considerably as the fight progressed. On a more positive note, Oliveira did land a pair of takedowns in Round 3. The Brazilian hasn't shown much over the course of her brief time with the company, although there is still theoretical upside here considering Oliveira won't turn 26 years of age until this coming December.
