Former UFC lightweight champion Brazilian Charles Oliveira shared his thoughts on his fight against American Beneil Dariush, which will take place June 10 at the UFC 289 tournament.
I've been thinking a lot about everything I've accomplished in my life. The guy who came out of the favelas into the world and was winning. I thought - have I already achieved everything I wanted, am I going to stop? No! There's still a lot of wood to burn, a lot to do. I'm going to be a UFC champion again, I'm abꦗsolutely sure of it.
