Alex Oliveira (born February 21, 1988) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Oliveira worked for a time as a construction worker and bull rider before he starting training in martial arts. He also trained in Muay Thai for a couple of years before switching to mixed martial arts at the age of 22. Fighting out of Três Rios, he made his professional debut competing in the welterweight division in December 2011. He compiled a record of 10-1-1, including a two-fight stint for Bitetti Combat while competing exclusively for regional promotions in his native Brazil. After taking a unanimous decision victory over Joilton Santos, Oliveira signed with the UFC in early 2015.
