Oliveira revealed how he once sparred with Pereira

Dmitriy Kel April 11, 2024, 2:34 a.m.

Former UFC lightweight champion Brazilian Charles Oliveira shared his memories of sparring together with current flyweight division titleholder compatriot Alex Pereira.

"It was a long time ago when he visited our Chute Boxe gym. We had a good sparring session, then we went to lunch together. I joked that I hoped one day to get hands as powerful and strong as his. He replied that one day he hoped to master my Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills. It's amazing to now fight alongside him in the main card of such a great and significant UFC tournament," - quotes Oliveira Sherdog.

Recall that Pereira and Oliveira will appear on April 13 at the UFC 300 show in Las Vegas. Alex in the main event will defend his title against the claims of Jamal Hill, and Charles will share the octagon with Arman Tsarukyan.
