Oliveira on UFC 289 in Canada: 'I've only seen this in movies'

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira said that he was deeply impressed by the UFC 289 show, which took place on June 11 in Vancouver, Canada.

Recall that in the framework of this event, Oliveira finished in the first round of Beneil Dariush and returned to the number of main contenders for the belt.

“I got a standing ovation from about 20,000 spectators in Canada. I had a feeling that the fight was not taking place in Vancouver, but in my backyard, I will never forget that. I cried both after the fight and at the exit from the arena, this remains in my memory. We were driving to the hotel and thousands of people were chanting my name. It seemed that these people could overturn our car. It's hard to describe the feeling, I've only seen this in the movies, ”MMA Fighting quotes Oliveira.
