Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira finds himself in current limbo amid his title stake in the division, however, claims if afforded the chance to take on lightweight title hopeful, Ilia Topuria — he believes he is “too powerful” and would knock out the Georgian-Spaniard.
Oliveira, who has been sidelined since last November, has been linked with a high-profile return to action as soon as this summer, in a rematch fight with Arman Tsarukyan, or another re-run against symbolic BMF champion, Max Holloway in a massive showdown.
However, one thing is for sure, the Sao Paulo star is less than content with possibly being passed over by soon-to-be former featherweight kingpin, Topuria.
