Charles Oliveira is ready to let his fighting do his talking against Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 300 on Saturday.

Oliveira is set to fight Tsarukyan on Saturday in a potential No. 1 contender fight at lightweight. It’s a very intriguing matchup, and in the lead-up to the fight, Tsarukyan took aim at Oliveira’s record as he said the Brazilian is limited to taking his opponents’ backs and submitting them with rear-naked chokes.

“People say what they want, right?” Charles Oliveira said in an interview with MMA Fighting. “If I only have that, and I have 16 submissions on my [UFC] record, I guess they were all from the back, right? And I guess the knockouts I have weren’t knockouts, they were submissions. It’s too much bulls*** they talk. It was said that I’m a quitter, but I was knocked down, walked forward and knocked them out. I also heard I’m not hungry, that I don’t want it anymore. He doesn’t know how bad I want to become champion again.”

Oliveira knows Tsarukyan is a solid well-rounded opponent so the Brazilian is expecting a very tough fight on Saturday at UFC 300.

Oliveira believes he has all the tools to defeat Tsarukyan, and thinks he can finish him to have another statement win.

“Of course, I want to knock him out. I want to submit him. I want the win, and I don’t want to leave it to the judges. The worst thing that can happen is leave it to the judges, so I will go for it the entire time. Of course, very strategically, making things happen. He’s super tough, has good striking and good takedowns, but I’m 100 percent ready for this. I’m not worried about what Arman can bring, but with what I can do. It’s all about me being happy and bold, and having my hand raised.”

If Oliveira wins, he thinks he could get a title shot next, but isn’t ruling out being Conor McGregor’s return opponent.

Charles Oliveira has sounded off about who he believes will emerge victorious from the much-anticipated Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill fight, which will go down at UFC 300 this weekend, on April 13th.

The Brazilian knockout artist Alex Pereira will have his chance to attain UFC light heavyweight gold when he takes on ‘Sweet Dreams’ Hill, and according to Oliveira, there’s a huge chance that his fellow Brazilian will walk away with another stunning knockout added to his resume.

Speaking to MMA Fighting, Charles Oliveira broke down the matchup and told viewers his perspective on the upcoming battle. Man, Jamahal Hill deserves all the respect in the world, he’s super tough and hits hard,” Oliveira began. “But, everyone that comes into trade with ‘Poatan’ gets folded.”

Charles Oliveira Predicts the Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill Fight

“‘Poatan’ is tough and hits hard,” Oliveira continued. “‘Poatan’ definitely is hungry for revenge too, and wants to avenge Glover’s loss (to Jamahal Hill). You have to be careful with that, but I’m sure ‘Poatan’ will knock him out.”

Charles Oliveira predicts that Alex Pereira will knockout Jamahal Hill:

"Everyone that comes in to trade with Poatan on the feet will get folded. You have to be careful with that, but I'm sure Poatan will knock [Jamahal] out.

“Jamahal Hill said he will stand and trade with ‘Poatan’, that he will not try and take him down… He’s bluffing, for sure. Jamahal Hill has the takedowns, and the means to make it happen. That’s the strategy, to take him down. If he trades on the feet, he’s getting knocked out.”

Charles Oliveira himself actually has a fight booked for UFC 300, and he’s facing an exciting prospect named Arman Tsarukyan. Tsarukyan is entering the matchup riding a three-fight win streak, and most notably, both Oliveira and Tsarukyan have a victory over Beneil Dariush in their most recent fights. The matchup is surely going to decide who will be next up for title contention, and it is a battle both men would surely not like to lose.

What do you think about Oliveira’s opinion of the Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill fight?

Charles Oliveira echoes calls for Conor McGregor fight after UFC 300: ‘You’re putting way too much money in your bank’

Earlier this week, former lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira’s head coach, Diego Lima confirmed how if afforded the opportunity, his student would accept an immediate turnaround against Conor McGregor after his return at UFC 300. And the Brazilian himself has backed up those claims, citing the chance to make a lucrative payday for himself.

Oliveira, the current number one ranked lightweight contender and former undisputed division champion, is slated to make his return at UFC 300 next weekend in an officially billed lightweight title-eliminator against surging contender, Arman Tsarukyan.

Sidelined since last June, Sao Paulo finisher, Charles Oliveira most recently returned to the winner’s enclosure with a blistering first round ground strikes TKO win over perennial contender, Beneil Dariush – snapping the Iranian’s impressive winning streak.

And meeting with Armenian challenger, Tsarukyan in a high-profile title-eliminator next weekend on the main card of UFC 300, Oliveira’s head coach, the above-mentioned, Lima claimed that if offered the chance, his student would most likely accept a fight with former champion, McGregor before a lightweight title charge against past-foe, Islam Makhachev.

“It would be great to fight (Conor) McGregor,” Diego Lima said. “Professionally speaking, [fighting McGregor[ would be incredible. If we had the opportunity to fight McGregor at welterweight after this fight [with Arman Tsarukyan], we would fight McGregor. But how abou the belt. OK, we’ll fight the belt after that, God willing. But we know that with McGregor, the creature has become bigger than the creator.”

“We know that if the opportunity came, McGregor already considered this fight – if we really had this opportunity, that’s the one we want,” Lima explained.

And echoing his coach’s claims, Oliveira cited the chance to land a significant fight pursue for himself as the reason for entertaining a fight with McGregor before a chance to reclaim his lightweight crown.

“I would absolutely go with Conor (McGregor) because of the money,” Charles Oliveira told MMA Fighting. “Everything has to be discussed. When you sit at the table, and there’s a contract, you say, ‘Ok, cool, I want this win. Am I next in line with a win?’ … You’re putting way too much money in your bank account to live a good live, and then you’re fighting for the title. It doesn’t make any difference.”

Charles Oliveira says if he was given the option to fight Conor McGregor or Islam Makhachev right now, he would choose Conor McGregor:

Slated to make his return to the Octagon next weekend at UFC 300 in a pivotal main card clash against Arman Tsarukyan, former divisional champion, Charles Oliveira has sights firmly fixed on a clash with ex-two-weight champion, Conor McGregor next – according to his head coach.

Oliveira, the current number one ranked lightweight contender, most recently featured in the co-main event of UFC 289 last summer, turning in a dominant first round knockout win over the surging Beneil Dariush with a ground strikes finish.

And taking on streaking Armenian contender, Tsarukyan next weekend on the monumental UFC 300 card, Sao Paulo native, Charles Oliveira would likely veto a long-ancitipated rematch with rival, Islam Makhachev with a victory next weekend – in favor of a welterweight clash with McGregor.

Himself expected to finally snap his hiatus from the Octagon this summer in a comeback fight, McGregor has earmarked a June comeback against soon-to-be common-foe, Michael Chandler, in what would come as his first outing since 2021.

Billed to feature in an official title-eliminator against Tsarukyan next week, Oliveira may have to lay in a wait anyway to fight Makhachev in the future – with the Russian linked with a June return at UFC 302 in New Jersey, in a championship defense against former interim champion, Dustin Poirier.

Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira has been sharp and on-point ahead of his UFC 300 title-eliminator against Arman Tsarukyan next month, with the Brazilian receiving plaudits for his striking prowess in new training footage released.

Oliveira, the current number one ranked lightweight contender, has been out of action since last June, successfully returning to the winner’s enclosure with an emphatic win over common-foe, Beneil Dariush with a first round ground strikes TKO win.

And as for Armenian contender, Tsarukyan, the surging contender himself turned in a similarly blistering win over Iranian veteran, Dariush in his last walk, atop a UFC Fight Night Austin card in December.

Charles Oliveira prepares for UFC 300 return

Both opening and remaining a notable betting underdog to beat Tsarukyan next month on the main card of UFC 300, Oliveira is closing the distance with the bookies – including with some of the best blockchain-based casino brands – with the promotion set to return to ‘Sin City’ for its next pay-per-view card in Las Vegas in the form of the massive spectacle in Nevada.

Seeing a division-best unbeaten run come to a staggering end back in October of 2022, Charles Oliveira was submitted by current champion, Islam Makhachev in the pair’s long-anticipated vacant title fight, succumbing to a second round arm-triangle choke submission loss.

And slated to fight his Russian rival a year later at UFC 294 last annum, just weeks out from the bout, the Sao Paulo finisher was forced to withdraw after he suffered a notable laceration on his right eyebrow during a sparring session.

With his loss to Makhachev, Charles Oliveira’s stunning finishing streak in championship fights also came to an end, following a knockout win over Michael Chandler, as well as a pair of back-to-back submissions of former interim titleholding duo, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje.

Maintaining his confidence in beating Charles Oliveira and earning his own respective rematch with Makhachev later this yeat – who himself is welcoming the chance to fight Poirier in a June comeback, Tsarukyan claimed the Brazilian was not overly “special”.

“Charles (Oliveira) is good at one thing: taking his opponent’s back and choking him out from that position,” Arman Tsarukayn said. “He has long limbs, so he’s good at taking the back, locking the triangle, and finishing the submission. But overall, he’s nothing special.”

“He has some tricks when pulling guard, but nothing extraordinary,” Arman Tsarukyan explained. “He’s got a great back-mount game where he chokes everybody out. This morning, we worked on these types of situations – what I should do if I get caught in that position. We’re working on it, but we shouldn’t let this happen in the fight.”

However, in new training footage on the pads this week, Charles Oliveira – who is yet to bleach his head traditionally ahead of his fighting return at UFC 300, appears to be in razor-sharp condition and has turned up his ever-evolving striking arsenal once more under the watchful eye of Chute Boxe coach, Diego Lima – who has guided the promotion’s most prolific finisher to lightweight spoils previously with aplomb.
