"This type of fight with 'Cowboy' is my favorite kind. I believe the first round will be like 'Rocky 2,' the second round will be like Kung Fu Theater and the third will be like the movie 'The Matrix.' I think 'Cowboy' and I are going to give the fans a fight like they have never seen before.
When I heard I was fighting 'Cowboy,' I was very happy. I knew this would be a very good and exciting fight for the fans. I think the winner and the loser are both going to the hospital afterward. I just hope they put us in the same room, so we can talk about the great fight we just had!"
-Charles Oliveira talks to MMAJunkie.com about his fight with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone this Sunday at UFC on Versus 5 in Milwaukee.
Penick's Analysis: This is an absolutely fantastic lightweight matchup for a free event. Both Oliveira and Cerrone are capable of putting on really exciting fights, and each some very exciting wins, so this fight has a lot of expectations from an entertainment standpoint; though that could lead to disappointment, I think both will be going in there to put on a show and to make an impression. After his win over Nik Lentz was overturned to a no contest, Oliveira is going to be out to get that win back on his record, and Cerrone will be out to keep his current winning streak intact. I love Oliveira's attitude heading into the fight and it's one I can't wait to see on Sunday on Versus.
