UFC 314 star has been adopted by 'the greatest team in MMA' as he looks to save his UFC career

Michal Oleksiejczuk is coming in UFC 314 knowing that he needs to change his fortune otherwise his future in the promotion could be at stake.

Michal Oleksiejczuk has been a permanent fixture in the UFC since 2017 and has picked up some impressive wins during his time in the premier promotion.

‘Hassar’ began his UFC tenure at light heavyweight before making a much-needed move to middleweight in 2022, but things seemingly haven’t gone his way.

The 30-year-old has only won one fight in his last five, leaving his UFC career in the balance, and a loss at UFC 314 this coming Saturday could mark the end of his eight-year tenure.

Last time out, the Polish fighter was dominated by middleweight rising star Shara Magomedov, showing that he likely won’t get into the top 15 of the division.

Despite that, Oleksiejczuk always comes with an exciting fight style, which wins the fans over nine times out of ten.

And ahead of his UFC 314 clash against Sedriques Dumas in Miami, Oleksiejczuk has been adopted by the most popular team in MMA right now, The Fighting Nerds.

The team out of Brazil includes exciting prospects, Jean Silva, Carlos Prates, Mauricio Ruffy, and Caio Borralho, and they are taking the UFC by storm, maintaining their undefeated record.

“I am ready for my fight. My opponent is Sedriques Dumas, he is a good fighter, so respect for him. But yeah, I train in the best place in the world, in my opinion. My condition is very good, my skill is better, and I am ready for war,” Oleksiejczuk said.

The adopted Fighting Nerd won’t be the only one representing the team at UFC 314, as featherweight star, Jean Silva, takes on Bryce Mitchell in a huge featherweight clash.

The build-up to their fight has been extremely bizarre, as Mitchell accused Silva of cursing him at the UFC 314 press conference after Silva continuously barked in the controversial featherweight’s face.
