According to the UFC, Oliviera became sick again, and after being seen by a doctor he was forced out of the bout.
This is the third instance in two weeks where a fighter has suffered complications that have involved missing weight. Henry Cejudo was removed from his bout with Scott Jorgensen after falling ill due to a weight cut, as was Renan Barao after injuring himself cutting weight prior to his title fight with T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 177.
The card will continue with nine fights.
