JZ Cavalcante vs Charles Oliveira In Battle of MMA Submission Artists

An intriguing match has been added to the line-up for the July 4. KASAI Super Series in Orlando. 

Charles Oliveira, the MMA fighter with the record for most submissions in the UFC, will face off with Gesias "JS' Cavalcante. 

Oliviera has scored no less than 13 submissions in his UFC career, and 18 total since he started fighting MMA. A black belt since 2010, the submission hunter is known for his chokes but also hit an unusual and rarely-seen calf slicer. 

Cavalcante, who is based in Florida, can also claim a solid submission grappling background. Nine of his 21 MMA wins have come via submission, and the black belt is a friend and training partner of Vagner Rocha, who also appears on the main card. 

They join matches featuring Craig Jones vs Tex Johnson and Vagner Rocha vs Celso Vinicius. 

"These two MMA stars are also elite grapplers," said KASAI CEO Rich Byrne. "They are extremely aggressive, fast and deadly. Don't blink. This match should be action packed."
