Coach Diego Lima explained the reasons why Charles Oliveira, a 35-year-old Brazilian former UFC lightweight champion in the 70 kg weight category, accepted the fight with Azerbaijani Rafael Fiziev, who is ranked 10th in the lightweight rankings.
İdman.biz reports that the coach stated that our compatriot is an excellent fighter.
The "Sherdog" portal presented Lima's words as follows: "The position in the ranking is not as important as the fighter's performance. Fiziev is an excellent fighter and has knockout power. I think he will try to fight Charles standing up. Charles, in turn, must act according to MMA rules and go the way that will lead him to victory."
