Oliveira wants to fight St. Pierre under grappling rules

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 8, 2023, 9:15 a.m.

Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira volunteered to become an opponent of the legendary George St. Pierre at the Fight Pass Invitational 6 grappling tournament, which will take place on December 14 in Las Vegas.

It is curious that in August the Brazilian veteran Demian Maia announced himself as the Canadian’s opponent, but this information was never confirmed.

“A Jiu-Jitsu fight is a very serious thing for me because I love this martial art. I would love to get the chance to fight George, it would be a huge honor for me. He inspires me with great admiration and respect.
