Oliveira will be desperately looking to snap a three-fight losing streak. “Cowboy” most recently suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Nicolas Dalby back in September.

As for Gall, he will be looking to make it two wins in a row and climb up the ranks. His last outing was in August where he outpointed Salim Touahri over three rounds.

Although this is the only bout made official by the UFC, there are a number of other fights that have been announced for the event:

Megan Anderson vs. Norma Dumont
