Rising Star Vinicius Oliveira made the best of his moment on the microphone in UFC Saudia Arabia.
The Brazilian Bantamweight perhaps took the biggest victory of his career when he said that Nurmagomedov, who is often wrongly related to UFC lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov because of their shared surname.
Despite the fact that both men come from the same region, they are not related and do not train together in Dagestan.
Nevertheless, the archenemand of Conor McGregor will have shown interest in the matchup, which ended with one of his famous cousins and cousins who received a call-out.

Vinicius Oliveira calls Umar Nurmagomedov
Umar Nurmagomedov lost last month via a unanimous decision against Merab Dvalishvili on UFC 311.
The 29-year-old gave a good report of himself while he fought through a broken hand to give the Bantam weight champion everything he can handle during his first title defense.
However, it seems very unlikely that he will get an immediate rematch against 'the machine'.
Vinicius Oliveira has offered Umar Nurmagomedov the opportunity to return to him in the profit column.
The 22-3 star is currently not, but he seems to think that Umar is 'scared' to face him in the Octagon.
“I talked about some bad things about some boys from Dagestan,” said Oliveira.
“It is part of the game. It's just a business community. I only have one question for you from Dagestan.
'His name is Umar Nurmagomedov. If he has the courage to face me, I am here. As Dana [White] Allows this fight, I am here to fight against Umar Nurmagomedov, but I think he is afraid of me. “
Vinicius Oliveira reveals serious injury
The big victory of Oliveira became even more impressive after his interview was over after the fight.
During his chat with former lightweight competitor Paul Felder, he almost revealed a serious rib injury to him from the UFC Saudi -Aarabia -Vechtkaart -but he decided to fight the pain for his fans.
“I was injured for the fight,” Oliveira revealed.
“Like, three or two months ago, I felt a lot of pain in my rib. Ten days ago I felt a lot of pain here.
“They had to cancel this fight because I can't breathe, I can't walk and I can't sleep.
“But something inside told me that I have to continue, I have to fight because the audience needs it.”
