Eleven years after their first encounter in the main event of UFC
\nFight Night 74 in Canada, Charles
\nOliveira<\/a> and Max
\nHolloway<\/a> will face each other again on Saturday.<\/p>\n

This time the fight will take place in Las Vegas in
\nUFC 326<\/a> main event, and the BMF title will be at stake. Shortly
\nbefore boarding a plane at S\u00e3o Paulo airport with his team on
\nSunday, Charles
\nOliveira<\/a> spoke with Brazilian journalist Laerte Viana and
\nassured him that he is arriving for this rematch in the best
\ncondition of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenting a house 800 meters from Chute Boxe made all the
\ndifference,\u201d Oliveira said. \u201cWhen I came from my house in Guaruj\u00e1,
\nI had to wake up at 6 a.m. to get to training at 11 a.m. Living
\nnext to the gym, I could wake up at 10 a.m. to get to training at
\n11 a.m. In other words, I was able to rest more and recover better
\nfor the training routine, and that made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paying Due Respect<\/h2>\n

Oliveira made sure to acknowledge the merits of his opponent, who
\nis a betting favorite entering the fight. “The numbers speak for themselves,\u201d he said. \u201cHolloway has a huge
\nvolume of strikes and is a guy who sells the fight inside the cage.
\nHe deserves all my respect.”<\/p>\n

The Brazilian veteran has vowed to due the BMF belt justice with
\nhis performance.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to win by being myself, hunting him all the time,
\nmuffling him, moving around and landing my punches,” Oliveira said. “Whoever throws such a high volume of strikes also exposes
\nthemselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The greatest finisher in UFC history made it clear that he doesn’t
\nbelieve Holloway’s promise to take the fight to the ground.<\/p>\n

“That’s definitely a bluff,\u201d said Oliveira, who plans to make
\nhimself available to fight at the White House if victorious. \u201cBut
\nwe trained for everything. My promise is to hunt him all the
\ntime.\u201d<\/p>\n
