I think olivera can be the lightweight champion soon. The people who say he isnt as good as people say must not have seen him fight because he looks great everywhere especially on the ground. If he gets his standup going he's going to be a problem

I think he is a fantastic fighter.  His stand-up was fantastic against Efrain Escudero

I'm concerned about his physical strength and what happens if he gets smothered by a Maynard-type, but I agree he's very good. He will be a contender.

Def contender... but I think he needs a year or two first.  This Cowboy fight will tell us a lot about him.. win or lose.

I think the Cowboy is a great matchup for both of them,  but I see Cerrone's skill set being a little too much for Olivera
