Charles Oliveira: Putting his adversaries to sleep
The Brazilian champion has his eye on the winner of the upcoming pay-per-view headliner between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor. Although unspoken, the general consensus is that the winner between Poirier and McGregor will be next to fight for gold. Oliveira is open to the idea of facing either man and is confident he can concuss either potential opponent on the feet.
“I never choose opponents. I am always ready to fight. They are two big names in the sport, the lightweights. Everyone knows that a fight with Conor has a lot of money and one with Dustin not so much, but they are two great opponents… I really believe in my Jiu-Jitsu against either of them, but something tells me that if I fought them, I would knock them both out. I’m feeling fine.”

“A few years ago, Charles was the Jiu-Jitsu guy who walked forward, took a beating, and was a little afraid,” Oliveira said. “Today, I’m not afraid to fight these guys… This shows how much I’m evolving on my feet. It will definitely be a great fight. Charles, today, is not a Jiu-Jitsu fighter. He’s a complete fighter, both standing and on the ground. But I think everyone will be knocked out.”[h/t BJ Penn.com]
Along with Oliveira, the entire world will be watching the showdown between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. The fight has implications not only for the next title fight, but also for the legacies of both fighters.
