Charles Oliveira is embracing love from fans during UFC 300 fight week.
In a collaboration with social media combat sports group 'Full Violence,' Oliveira snuck up behind fans who were being interviewed by the company's representatives. Before being surprised by his presence, the fans were asked if they felt they could beat Oliveira in a fight and what they would say to the former UFC lightweight champion if they had the chance.
Though most fans were quick to say that they did not believe they could beat Oliveira in a hypothetical fight, a couple of people shown in the video said they could, only to quickly backtrack once they came face-to-face with the Brazilian.
