Charles Oliveira is set to defend his UFC lightweight title against Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 309 on March 5th. In a recent interview with Megan Olivi, Oliveira discussed his upcoming fight and his thoughts on Poirier.
Oliveira is coming off a dominant win over Michael Chandler at UFC 262. He submitted Chandler in the second round to win the vacant lightweight title.

Oliveira is a dangerous submission artist. He has 19 submission wins in his career, which is the most in UFC history. Poirier, on the other hand, is a well-rounded fighter with good striking and wrestling. He is also a former interim lightweight champion.

In the interview with Olivi, Oliveira said that he is confident in his abilities and that he is ready for the challenge of facing Poirier.
"I know Dustin Poirier is a tough opponent, but I believe in my skills and I am confident that I can beat him," Oliveira said.
Oliveira also said that he is excited to fight in front of a full crowd again.
"I am so excited to fight in front of a full crowd again," Oliveira said. "I have missed the energy of the crowd and I can't wait to feel it again on March 5th."
