Do Bronx’ Charles Oliveira is not happy with the referee during his UFC 309 bout against the US-born Michael Chandler. ‘Iron’ Mike committed several fouls that never amounted to any issues in the cage.
Oliveira pointed out issues like Chandler landing illegal blows to the back of his head, grabbing the fence, and eye pokes. The Brazilian-born fighter says he alerted the referee multiple times, but no action was taken. During his UFC 309 post-fight interview, the Brazilian athlete explained:
“I’m not here to criticize, but I want to tell you something. There were a lot of blows to the back of the head. A lot of fence grabbing. There was also some eye pokes, and I was telling him (the ref) what was going on. I kept calling for his attention and nothing would happen. I would hope that he would intervene, but nothing happened.” [Ht Cagesidepress]
For his next bout, ‘Do Bronx’ wants a title rematch for the UFC lightweight title against reigning champion Islam Makhachev. But, when asked about a potential fight against UFC megastar Conor McGregor, Charles Oliveira said that he would love it but it would never happen. He said:
“This is the guy that runs away the most in the UFC. This fight’s not going to happen. Would it make sense? Yes. Would it be a good fight? Yes. Would people love it? Yes. We both sell fights well, but he chooses his opponents. This fight’s not happening.”
Charles Oliveira is an action fighter with a background in jiu-jitsu. Whether by knockout or submission, ‘Do Bronx’ always aims for a finish and this makes him a fan favorite.
Charles Oliveira secured his second win over Michael Chandler in the co-main event of UFC 309, but just like their first encounter in 2021, the fight wasn’t without high drama. “Do Bronx” dominated the first four rounds and looked one shot away from finishing the fight at multiple points, as proven by the unanimous scorecards […]
Charles Oliveira secured his second win over Michael Chandler in the co-main event of UFC 309, but just like their first encounter in 2021, the fight wasn’t without high drama.
“Do Bronx” dominated the first four rounds and looked one shot away from finishing the fight at multiple points, as proven by the unanimous scorecards of 49-46, 49-46, and 49-45.
Oliveira looked to grapple a lot more in this fight than in his recent outings, securing consistent takedowns and taking Chandler’s back multiple times. However, in the fifth round, “Iron” nearly turned the tide in what would have been an all-time great comeback.
The former three-time Bellator champion needed a finish, and after hurting the former champion on the feet, just like in their first fight, he was seemingly one shot away from the referee stepping in. That would have been controversial due to many of the strikes seemingly hitting the back of Oliveira’s head in just one example of fouls going unnoticed by referee Keith Peterson.
Oliveira was able to protect himself off his back once again, take time to recover, and get back to his feet. After surviving a few more strikes, he secured yet another takedown to close out the round and get his hand raised.
In one of the highlight reel moments of the night, the Madison Square Garden crowd nearly blew the roof off of the iconic venue when Chandler ended the fight by back-slamming Oliveira, who had taken his back not once but twice in another similarity to UFC 262.
In his post-fight interview, Oliveira said that he will be ready to face the winner of Islam Makhachev vs. Arman Tsarukyan, while Chandler called out Conor McGregor — again. Fans reacted on social media to the dominant performance from Oliveira, which ended in chaotic fashion.
Oliveira himself posted an immediate reaction to the fight on X.
Well, I meant 5th
He really hits hard

Michael Chandler might lose every single big fight he’s in but he might legitimately be the most entertaining fighter on the roster
