The post shared by ESPN MMA and Sports Center on Instagram caught the attention of his fans. Dated back on December 12, 2023, it mentioned how Oliveira and American Rapper Ice Spice were dating each other. Charles was caught off-guard, surprised at the caption, as he had been married since February 2014. He tied the knot with Talita Roberta Pereira after dating each other for six years.

To this unforeseen buzz, even his fans shared their disbelief, but it was not a sole occurrence. Another headline that caught the attention surrounding Charles Oliveira was highlighted by Ben Davis on his X account. The post was shared on June 17, 2023, claiming that the Brazilian was supposedly dating American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. This rumor once again garnered a lot of attention.

However, not much controversy was created. Oliveira has moved on from all such news ever since and is now focusing on his next fight. Before the much-anticipated battle, let us break down the strengths of both fighters.

Who holds the upper hand in the upcoming UFC 300 battle?

The lightweight division is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining divisions in the UFC. Both Oliveira and Tsarukyan have established themselves as the top contenders in the division. While one is a former champion, the other seems to be a future champion. The fight promises to be a blockbuster, as both fighters are quite evenly poised.

‘Do Bronx’ currently holds a record of  22-9-1 in the UFC. He also holds the record for the most number of finishes in the UFC (20). The Brazilian holds a striking accuracy of 53% during a fight. Adding to this, he also holds a striking defense of 51% and a strong takedown defense of 55%.

‘Ahalkalakets’, on the other hand, is unbeaten in his last five fights. One of his biggest assets is his take-down defense, which stands at 75%. He also has a good striking defense (54%) but lacks accuracy by a little (48%.). The numbers point to an evenly poised fight between the pair. However, things will be completely different when they face each other inside the Octagon. Who do you think will win the fight? Let us know below.
