Former UFC champion Charles Oliveira has warned Beneil Dariush to be ready for "war" this weekend.
Oliveira looks to put himself back into title contention against fellow top contender Dariush when they meet in the cage at UFC 289 on Saturday. The Brazilian lost out on the chance to reclaim his lightweight belt last October when he was tapped out by Khabib Nurmagomedov's protege Islam Makhachev in the second round.
'Do Bronx' will look to end the eight-fight unbeaten run of Dariush, who last fought on the undercard of Oliveira's title loss to Makhachev. “Sincerely, I’m hungry. I’m happy," Oliveira said of the fight. "Everybody that sees me sees how happy I am to be here. I’m going to go after this guy. I have all the respect in the world for him, but I’m going to go after him. I’m going to hunt him all the time. You want a war? War has come.”
