Vinicius Oliveira recently urged Dana White to book a massive bout against Umar Nurmagomedov following his win at UFC Saudi Arabia. The talented bantamweight has been an exciting addition to the promotion and is eager to test himself against the top contenders.

'Lok Dog' earned an impressive unanimous decision win over Said Nurmagomedov to extend his winning streak to five consecutive wins and improved his MMA record to 22-3.

Nurmagomedov is coming off his unsuccessful title attempt after losing a unanimous decision to reigning champion Merab Dvalishvili. It was his first career loss, which ended his 18-fight unbeaten streak.

Meanwhile, 'Lok Dog' has remained unbeaten since earning his UFC contract on the 'Contender Series' and has now aimed at 'Young Eagle'. Championship Rounds posted Oliveira's post-fight interview, where he accused Nurmagomedov of being afraid to fight him and pleaded with White to book that fight next:

"It's part of the game. It was just business. I have only one specific guy from Dagestan to fight, his name is Umar Nurmagomedov. If he has courage to face me, I'm here. And if Dana [White] allowed this fight, I'm here to fight against [Nurmagomedov] but I think he's scared of me."
