Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira appears to still retain some ill-will toward ex-foe, Justin Gaethje — labelling the veteran the hardest hitting opponent he’s ever faced in the Octagon — but reminding fans at a UFC 312 Q&A that he still finished the former when they met.
Oliviera, a former undisputed lightweight champion and the current number two ranked divisional contender, most recently co-headlined UFC 309 back in November at Madison Square Garden, taking on two-fight rival, Michael Chandler over the course of five rounds.
And turning in his second career win over the Missouri veteran, Oliveira landed a unanimous decision win over the former Bellator MMA three-time lightweight kingpin — returning to the winner’s enclosure to boot.
