Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira commented on the appointment of the fight with Rafael Fiziev.

It was previously announced that the Brazilian and the Azerbaijani will clash in the main event of UFC Fight Night 261, which will take place on October 11 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"To be honest, Fiziev is a very tough opponent. He moves well, works great standing up, behaves with respect, and has already fought with big names. As I always say, I never show disrespect to others, but I focus on myself. On what I can bring to the fight. This confidence, this feeling of joy to be ready. I am not alone in the cage. There is me, him, and a whole nation of Brazilians who support me and feel the same as I do. This energy will definitely push me forward,” Oliveira was quoted by BJ Penn.
