Michael Oliveira, better known as "PQD", brings a 9-0 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as welterweight, every single win matters.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 8 KO/TKO wins, 8.4 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled. Add a 78.5" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
The form line is loud: 5 straight wins, the latest over Victor Valenzuela (KO/TKO (Punches) R2). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
Next up: Oban Elliott at UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez on August 1, 2026. Circle the date.
