Already preparing for the fight, Charles do Bronx made a point of responding to the provocation made by Islam Makhachev. In an interview with the “Mundo da Luta” podcast, the Brazilian fighter used strong words and sent a message to his opponent and also to Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is the mentor of the candidate for the UFC lightweight title.
“These guys [Islam e Khabib] want to get into my mind somehow. They said I gave up, I showed that I don’t give up. They said I can’t, I showed that I can. They tried to steal my belt and I said, ‘Wait a minute, let me show you how it works’. Now this is what they invented, that I choose fights!” snapped Charles from the Bronx.
“Just mention the last four names I faced, they’re ranked guys! It’s not the 22nd, 23rd guy, it’s not the guy they hired to fight. I think it was answered well, right, Islam? And when I didn’t say his name, it was because it was a fight that didn’t interest me, I had to talk about the fight that interested me. But you talked about it so much, you wanted it so much, I said: I wanted peace, you wanted war. Pleasure, the war is coming”, released the verb.
Charles from the Bronx wanted to face Conor McGregor at the Brazil. In an interview with “Combate”, the São Paulo fighter highlighted his desire to face the Irishman on Brazilian soil and also stated that the interest in the confrontation is for the money. For the same reason, he would accept a lightweight fight with Islam Makhachev, the main name indicated by Ultimate.
