ABU DHABI – Charles Oliveira might be down, but not out.
The former UFC lightweight champion is determined to get the belt back after his Saturday loss. Oliveira (33-9 MMA, 21-9 UFC) was submitted by Islam Makhachev in his attempt to reclaim the UFC lightweight title at UFC 280.
“No one is ever going to hit me as hard as life has hit me,” Oliveira told reporters at the UFC 280 post-fight press conference. “I fell down, and I’m going to get up and I’m going to get this belt back.”
