PHOENIX – MMA math doesn’t always work, but for lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, this is the equation heading into UFC 274.
“He fought a guy for three rounds. I knocked him out with my left hand,” Oliveira told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at Wednesday’s media day. “So whatever the hype is, whatever the talk is, I don’t listen to it. The champion is Charles Oliveira, and it’s gonna stay this way.”
“He,” of course, is Justin Gaethje. And as for “him,” that’s Michael Chandler Oliveira is talking about.
