<\/div>\n

Michael
\nOliveira<\/a> has no intention of following the growing trend of
\nwelterweights moving up to middleweight.<\/p>\n

Fresh off an impressive
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> debut in Serbia, the unbeaten
\nBrazilian told Sherdog he plans to spend the remainder of his
\ncareer competing at welterweight despite carrying significantly
\nmore weight outside camp.<\/p>\n

UFC newcomer credits veteran specialist Rogerio Camoes<\/h2>\n

Oliveira, who improved to 10-0 and recorded his ninth knockout
\nvictory at
\nUFC Belgrade<\/a>, acknowledged that making the welterweight limit
\nis demanding. However, he said the process is manageable with the
\nhelp of nutrition and weight-cut specialist Rogerio Camoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think because I arrived late to the weigh-in, a lot of people
\nassumed I had trouble making weight,\u201d Oliveira told Sherdog. \u201cThe
\nodds in my favor even dropped, but the truth is everything is
\nplanned. I make 77 kilograms (170 pounds) without much difficulty,
\nmainly because I work with Rogerio Camoes. He has worked with
\nAnderson
\nSilva<\/a>, Ronaldo
\nSouza<\/a> and Rafael
\nCavalcante<\/a>. He knows exactly what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Oliveira entered the Octagon at just over 90 kilograms
\nafter making the welterweight non-title limit, he dismissed any
\nsuggestion that he could eventually follow fighters such as
\nKhamzat
\nChimaev<\/a> to middleweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan is to stay at welterweight until the end of my
\ncareer\u2014another nine or 10 years\u2014without any issues,\u201d Oliveira
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian also revealed that he is targeting a November
\nreturn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m planning to come back in November, but if the UFC calls, we
\nwill be ready,\u201d the
\nDana White\u2019s Contender Series<\/a> signee added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
