Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira expressed confidence that he will be able to deliver a knockout defeat to former titleholder of the category below Ilia Topuria.
"I don’t really care about what people say. I know that Topuria has a heavy punch, but we are talking about the lightweight division. This is a more difficult division compared to the featherweight. I fought Justin Gaethje, and everyone said he hits harder, but when I hit, he fell. I believe in the fire and strength of my hands, so let’s wait for our meeting on June 28. I will knock this guy out. That’s for sure," Oliveira is quoted by MMA Junkie.
Let us remind you that the fight between Oliveira and Topuria will take place on June 28 in the main event of UFC 317 in Las Vegas, USA. The vacant belt in the lightweight category will be at stake.
