At the UFC 284 event, Charles Oliveira appeared in three: guests, coaches and preparatory boxers. He is a member of the coaching committee, supporting his teammate Elves Brense Oliveira against Zubaira Tuhhugov. This is also the first match at Elves's UFC.
In addition to the training, Charles Oliveira is also ranked as a preparatory if Islam Makhachev or Alexander Volkanovski cannot play. “Do Bronx” also plans to challenge one of the two after the Main Event closed. However, Oliveira does not want to struggle immediately.
Responding to international media, Charles Oliveira revealed a part of the plan for returning to the UFC arena. Instead of fighting Islam Makhachev or Alexander Volkanovski immediately, “Do Bronx” wanted to compete with a martial artist in the top 5 of the tournament. The British opponent is Beneil Dariush, UFC's rising boxer.
“It is true that we are negotiating against Dariush, who has had an impressive series of impressive victories recently,” Oliveira said. The coaches of “Do Bronx” are the person in charge of negotiations, so he can focus on training and competition. It is expected that two boxers will compete in April or May.
On the side of Dariush, a competition with Oliveira seems to be exceeding his expectations. Iranian boxer recently challenged the opponents above, including Dustin Poirier. He said Poirier and other boxers needed to play with Dariush, instead of targeting “softer” opponents at the bottom.
