Amid speculation about his next career move, the former UFC lightweight champion, Charles of the Bronx, drew attention by intensifying his training and adopting the use of helmets. The sessions, held at the Chute Boxe gym in São Paulo, were marked by exchanges of blows with sparring and an emphasis on blows to the body.
The use of the helmet generated debate, especially after the cut on the eyebrow suffered by Charles during the sparring that preceded his rematch against Islam makhachev for the lightweight belt, in Abu Dhabi. The cut prevented him from competing in the fight and prevented him from getting another chance at the title.
