Dmitriy Kel Nov. 16, 2021, 12:07 a.m.

UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira shared his expectations from the fight with Dustin Poirier on Dec 11 at UFC 269 in Las Vegas.

“We will see on December 11 who is the best among us. I believe in myself. I think I have a lot more weapons in my arsenal than Poirier. The drummers brought him to the ground too easily, and you know what happens if I drag him to the ground. If he exchanges blows in a standing position, then here I am also all right - I hit hard."

"There will be a fire on December 11. I have firepower in my hands, I have jiu-jitsu. I have great respect for him, but I want to remain a champion, I want to keep this belt," the Brazilian told MMA Fighting.
