Aware of the possibility of living another historic chapter in the octagon, Charles do Bronx opened his heart when talking about a personal desire. The Brazilian, who will have a rematch against Max Holloway , for the symbolic 'BMF' belt, at UFC 326, this Saturday (7), in Las Vegas (USA), revealed to the organization's team what he intends to do if he beats the Hawaiian.
During the recording of the second episode of the 'Embedded' series on the Ultimate's YouTube channel, the 'Embedded Lion' made it clear that he wants to see his father hand him the belt. The Brazilian, who was once the lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), has not yet had this experience, as his father did not travel with him on that occasion. This will also be Francisco Oliveira's first trip to the United States to accompany his son to a UFC event.
“It’s a different kind of energy, you know? My father is something special. I think, God willing, if we win and he can put the belt around my waist, it will be something unprecedented, something I will never forget, that the world will not forget, and especially not him either. It will be incredible. After that, it’s all joy. Let’s live and enjoy the moment,” said the Brazilian via UFC.
