'LokDog' drops mic after UFC 318: Vinicius Oliveira releases rap song
Vinicius Oliveira quite literally dropped the mic after his UFC 318 win. "LokDog" isn't just a fighter. He's a rapper, too. One day after his victory over Kyler Phillips in New Orleans, Oliveira (23-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) dropped a new single "Fenomenal" featuring Brazilian rapper B-Dynamitze. Coinciding with the song was a new music video, which features "LokDog" in the gym sparring, lifting – and spitting. Oliveira's discography includes five singles, according to his Spotify artist account. His debut "Ande Como um Rei" dropped in 2023 followed by "Perdendo a Conquista." In 2024 he released "Cerre os Punhos" and "Conquistando o Impossivel." To go with his five singles, Oliveira has four UFC wins to date. He's won six fights in a row and 12 of his most recent 13. His unanimous decision win over Phillips () was his most high-profile to date, and likely aligns him for a top-10 matchup next. Regardless of who, when, or where he fights next, "LokDog" will remain one of the division's biggest personalities. If you don't believe it, look no further than the above music video.
