Charles Oliveira believes in himself very much and is ready to fight with champions in two weight categories. He will remain so self-confident until the fight with Islam Makhachev.
“I really thought that I could never go down to 145 pounds, but the last weight extractor showed that I easily gained 155 pounds without being dehydrated, so I believe I can meet the featherweight limit.
If I had the opportunity to immediately fight for the featherweight belt, I would. Also, if I had the opportunity to fight for the welterweight title, I would move up, but if I had a choice, I would rather go down 145 pounds first. I guess that would be more appropriate. Either way, it would be great to be the first Brazilian UFC champion in two weight classes. “

FIGHT WITH ALEX VOLKANOVSKI
Alexander Volkanovski – UFC featherweight champion who fears strong opponents. It may happen that he will be afraid of Oliveira too. Charles is more likely to strangle, it is better to pick up a weaker opponent and enjoy the defense of the title. There will be no such fight.
FIGHT WITH KAMARU USMAN
The idea, to put it mildly, is very dubious. Charles Oliveira considers himself very strong, but Kamaru Uthman will simply destroy him. Uthman is better in all aspects. His takedown much more effective, and the blow is stronger. Dana White will not tolerate a fight that invalidates the UFC lightweight belt.
Charles Oliveira is engaged in self-promotion and continues to earn bonuses for himself by such statements.
The Brazilian strangled Dustin in the last fight Poirier in the third round. His statistics include thirty-two wins and eight defeats.
