UFC 317 will definitely be one of the most important matches of Charles Oliveira's career. This is not only an opportunity for him to return to the light throne, but also an opportunity to defeat one of the brightest stars of the tournament, possessing a perfect achievement table like Ilia Topuria.
Although, Topuria constantly makes fans stand still with confidence and a series of promises “Will Knockout, will lower Charles with anything fans want”, “Do Bronx” still chooses to practice instead of responding to the opponent little by little.
“I don't like to say much because what we say is noisy, but I think we all went through. 15 years in UFC, I was from a child when I first present here, a child in the middle of the lion. And now I feel like a lion between the lion.”
“At that time, they thought I was better than them, they said what they thought could weave in my head. I had a team with me. And when someone said” Charles gave up, “I went to the radio and overcome them.
“If the idea is to say and think that they will get into my head, I feel ridiculous. These things are not related because when they say, I practice. You know, I am not the type of boxer who has to go to the lesson, to say that and that. I know what I need to do, the match on the 29th, I have to focus and be ready. Hien. “
“I don't know how to do it, it's like a kind of talk. I don't know how to sell the game like that, it's not the way I promote. Let me make money as usual because it is the only way I know. When I closed, I know what I have to do: Step, swing my fist and finally – the most important thing, my arm is raised high.”
What makes the audience most worried for Oliveira is the strongest point of Topuria – Boxing, which drilled the impossible chin of Max Holloway. This is also an array of Oliveira skill that has been facing for many years in his career, with a series of Knockdowns he suffered from his opponents.
However, Oliveira also believes that once he has overcome the notorious stood like Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, he has the right to believe in his fist once the bell bells at UFC 317 rang.
“I always rushed out and this time. My hands possessed terrible power and he punched it very heavy. We would see the match that both of them only rushed. I have the skill of Jiujitsu, he also knows Grappling. He asked fans how the match took place, that maybe Knockout and locked me, he was confident. When I stood, but I believe in my hands. “
“You have known me for a long time and when I don't worry about what the opponent takes to the radio to focus on what I can do, everything will work. Of course, a powerful team around me, we know he owns the pressure boxing and launches 2, 3 punches. He is very dangerous because he has just lowered Knockout Max Holloway.”
“Then everyone said he had good Jiujitsu, but did not use it at UFC, they said he did well. Actually, I was just worried about what I could bring on the radio and would be happy with the opportunity to add something to my heritage.”
