Oliveira's coach made a bold prediction for the fight with Dariush

Diego Lima, former UFC lightweight champion mentor Charles Oliveira, expressed confidence that his ward will be able to knock out Beneil Dariush in the upcoming fight.

“Dariush is a great fighter, powerful and versatile, but Charles is just incredible. We, the people who are constantly next to him, know his potential. It is important for Charles to be happy - when he is in such a state, no one can take away from him what belongs to him. And now he's doing great.

I'm sure there will be a knockout. Charles has very heavy punches and kicks. It seems to me that Dariush will want to fight in the stand. If not, then let him prepare for the stalls. Charles is in great shape, I have no doubt about the knockout, ”Combate quotes Lima.

Oliveira and Dariush will meet in the co-main event of UFC 289, which will be held on the night of June 11 in Vancouver, Canada.
