Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira has backed Alex Pereira to get the better of Jamahal Hill at UFC 300.
Later this weekend, the UFC will be hosting the biggest event in its history this weekend as the promotion’s milestone UFC 300 is scheduled for Saturday.
The card will be headlined by a UFC light heavyweight championship fight between Alex Pereira and former champion Jamahal Hill. Ahead of the fight, a lot has been said about the fighter who has the advantage going into the event. While there is not a lot to separate the two fighters, Charles Oliveira has seemingly backed his fellow Brazilian to get the job done.
During a recent interview with MMAFighting, Charles Oliveira had this to say about the UFC 300 headliner, “Everyone that comes in to trade with Poatan on the feet will get folded. You have to be careful with that, but I’m sure Poatan will knock [Jamahal] out.”
