Top UFC lightweight Charles Oliveira spoke out at the UFC 280 presser following his fight announcement against Islam Makhachev. The vacant 155-pound strap will be on the line, and many fans look at this bout as the best in the UFC\u2019s calendar year.<\/p>\n

Moreover, since Charles Oliveira didn\u2019t truly lose his title, he\u2019s looked at by many as the unofficial UFC lightweight champion. \u2018Do Bronx\u2019 has used this narrative to his favor and has gladly accepted the tag as the uncrowned champion of the division.<\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira isn\u2019t threatened by Islam Makhachev\u2019s ground game<\/h2>\n

\u2018Do Bronx\u2019 stated that he\u2019s faced tougher competition than Islam Makhachev so far in his UFC tenure. Given the recent wins he\u2019s accrued over names like Dustin Poirier and Islam Makhachev, it\u2019s easy to see where he\u2019s coming from.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s dropping in on a wave, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s supposed to do. But if you\u2019ve seen my record, I\u2019ve fought tougher people, and I\u2019m here to prove that I\u2019ll do it again.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to fight. That\u2019s what I will do, and you will know who is the champ once again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Additionally, Charles Oliveira pushed away the threat of Islam Makhachev\u2019s ground game and he\u2019s certain that the mat will remain his stronghold. He holds the most number of submissions in the history of the company and this has understandably given Oliveira tremendous confidence in his own skills.<\/p>\n
