Still searching for first UFC win
Oliveira lost to Shanelle Dyer via TKO (strikes) at 1:17 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Oliveira returned from a two-year layoff and was submitted by Stephanie Luciano in October. She was arguably less competitive here, barely making it into Round 2 before being put away. Oliveira struggled with the speed of Dyer, constantly seemingly to get off second in the striking exchanges between the two. A barrage of knees and several unanswered shots led to the finish. Now 0-3 with the UFC, the odds are against Oliveira being granted a fourth opportunity.

Falls in return from long layoff
Oliveira lost to Stephanie Luciano via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:50 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
This looked like a terrible matchup for Oliveira on paper, and it played out exactly that way inside the Octagon. Ravena has very limited power and tends to stay to the outside. That was a major issue against an opponent in Luciano with far more speed and simply more ways to win. Oliveira was dominated on the feet throughout before giving up a pair of takedowns and getting submitted in Round 3. Now 0-2 in the UFC and have competed just twice in the last two-plus years, Oliveira could be a release candidate.

New fight booked
Oliveira (undisclosed) will fight Stephanie Luciano at UFC Fight Night 262 in Vancouver on October 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Oliveira withdrew from her fight with Shauna Bannon earlier this week that was supposed to take place later this month. The reasoning for her withdrawal is unknown but looks as though she'll be ready to go in a few months' time to take on a new opponent. Both competitors are in search of wins after losing their last bouts.

No longer fighting Bannon
Oliveira will no longer fight Shauna Bannon at UFC 304 on Jul. 27, and Alice Ardelean will instead take the match, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
The reason for Oliveira's withdraw remains unknown, but it will pave way to Ardelean getting her UFC debut. Oliveira has not yet won a UFC match, losing to Tainara Lisboa via unanimous decision in her sole UFC fight back in 2023, so she has much left to prove in whatever professional fighting campaign her future holds.
