Despite the happiness with the comeback, he revealed in an interview with “Combate” that he had to go through a very difficult time.

Despite this, he highlighted all the support he has received from his team since the event, and that this was essential to get his head in place and get inside the Octagon needing to do whatever was necessary.

“The hardest part was listening to my father cry. It was the hardest part. But we are a huge team and a huge family. They knew how to calm me down and tell me all the time that the champion has a name, and it’s Charles Oliveira. weight on Thursday, we are absolutely sure of that, but unfortunately it turned out to be. But it’s over. What I came to do, I did”, started.
“We’ve increased our winning streak and submissions once again, and we’re going to continue this hype. I’m going to keep saying: they’re going to talk and I’m going to come here and do it. I took three knockdowns in a row, got up, gave the knockdown and submitted. What are they going to say more? This time it was the scales. Next time they’ll tie me up to see if I don’t come to the fight…”, said.
Charles Do Bronx also said that the certainty of having made weight on Thursday, the 5th, as he does in all his fights since the change from featherweight to lightweight UFC, it was good to calm the mood on Friday, the 6th.

I stayed closer to them, talking, trying to eat and stay in the I woke up Saturday morning and the first message I went to see was from my daughter”, said before completing.

“Against Tony Ferguson I was at weight on Thursday morning. I’ve always been a pro. That’s what I told Dana in the face that I’m a pro, I wouldn’t touch him. The most important thing was to keep my head centered, and do what they asked me to do the most, which was to be bold, happy”, said.
“I told them all over the camp that I would break up with this guy, that I would hit him hard too. They told us to make it easy, I agreed, but when the grid closes I want to show my value and how much I am growing”, finished the Brazilian, who was later taken by positive messages from fans on social networks.
