Charles Oliveira, former UFC lightweight champion, explained why he agreed to fight Arman Tsarukyan.

"Do I think that Arman is underestimating me? Of course he has to show confidence, has to stay focused on the fight. This guy deserves only respect. But I don't care what he thinks of me. I'm just tuning in for the upcoming fight in the cage. If I was going to wait for a title fight, I wouldn't fight until the end of the year, and I don't like to be idle for too long. I would have waited almost a year. So, that's why I accepted this challenge," Oliveira said on the MMA Mania YouTube channel."

The confrontation between Oliveira and Tsarukyan will take place on the night of April 14 in Las Vegas as part of the 300th anniversary tournament of the organization.
