UFC welterweight Alex Oliveira was injured yesterday evening in Brazil after being hit with grenade fragments.<\/p>\n

The news comes via MMAFighting<\/a>, who confirmed that “Cowboy” went to buy gasoline for his mother\u2019s car on Christmas Eve, when he saw members of his family involved in an altercation.<\/p>\n

Moments after Alex Oliveira pulled over and stopped his vehicle, a grenade was thrown in his direction which resulted in the UFC fighter suffering injuries to his foot and leg.<\/p>\n

Alex Oliveira recently spoke to TV Rio Sul<\/a> about the terrible incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne guy came up and pointed a gun at my nephew\u2019s face, and that\u2019s when people started pushing each other,\u201d Oliveira told the website. \u201cThey had machetes, knives, a grenade. They threw a grenade in my direction. Fragments flew to my leg and my foot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Alex Oliveira was taken to a local hospital where he underwent a small surgery on his leg to remove the grenade fragments.<\/p>\n

“Cowboy<\/a>” was most recently seen in action earlier this month at UFC 231 in Toronto, where he suffered a second-round submission loss to Gunnar Nelson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to the setback, Oliveira had scored back to back stoppage wins over opponents Carlos Condit and Carlo Perdersoli Jr.<\/p>\n

BJPENN.com would like to wish Alex Oliveira a speedy recovery, and we hope that “Cowboy” was able to enjoy Christmas with his family and loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
