Annoyed by Luffy's stance, Victoria abandoned diplomacy. If Charles is called by many 'The Dark Lion', his wife became a lioness to defend him, went hunting and roared. Disgruntled, Brum stated that the striker is trying to gain attention at her husband's expense and made a point of emphasizing that her rival is far behind him in terms of legacy.

“Let’s schedule a boxing match then, because if you want a fight, you MMA jerk, you’ll have jiu-jitsu! Ruffy, don’t try to ride my husband’s wave. What he has in submissions, you don’t have in fighting!”, wrote Charles’ wife on the ‘Ag. Fight’ Instagram profile.

Luffy's words against Charles

“He did what nobody imagined, which was to clinch from beginning to end. If you go into the UFC business to clinch and grab someone, you end up losing opportunities. Charles had an incredible fight, but surely neither the UFC will want to see him clinching, nor will McGregor put himself in that position.”

"People were saying, 'Look, Charles flashed Holloway.' My friend, Charles almost got knocked out, you know? If he had five more seconds, he would have been limp after the last punch… He took two flashes at the very end, take a look at how Charles was at the end. He took a flash, let his right hand land, took another one right after, and it was over."
