Just confirmed yesterday, Yves Edwards (40-17-1 MMA, 8-5 in the UFC) vs. Rafaello "Tractor" Oliveira (14-4 MMA, 1-3 in the UFC) has been added to the fight card for UFC on Versus 6 taking place October 1st at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. Both of these fighters suffered a loss in their previous matches, Yves Edwards lost to Sam Stout by weigh of Knockout in 3:52 of the 1st round, and Oliveira lost to Gleison Tibau via Submission in 3:28 in the 2nd round. This fight is a must-win situation for Oliveira in his 2nd time around in the UFC, for those of you who do not know, Rafaello Oliveira was released by the UFC in March of 2010 after his 2nd decision loss in 3 UFC fights, he was called back up at UFC 130. But he will go against a Yves Edwards who has been 6-2 in his last 8 fights. - Rusty Hoyle
