Charles Oliveira spoke about how he is going to change his 0-4 record of fighting in Canada
Charles Oliveira, the former lightweight champion of the world, has lost every time that he has fought in Canada. The Brazilian has fought in Canada four times and lost each bout. In a recent interview, he was asked what was different this time around and how he is going to change his fighting record in Canada:
"When Diego told about the fight, he said, 'hey I have a new challenge for you, there's a new stop that you need to take on your way to the top. When I came here every single time it was cold, snowy. Things have changed, it's nice, it's warm, it's beautiful out. Things are changing, things are different"
Charles Oliveira has not fought since October 2022. Now that he is fit and way from all injuries, fans are expecting him to come back with a bang. He will have a tough challenge, as Beneil Dariush is one of the most skilled lightweights in the division.
