Charles Oliveira had no issues making weight ahead of his UFC 289 fight against Beneil Dariush.
Last year, Oliveira was stripped of the the lightweight title when he failed to make weight ahead of his title defense against Justin Gaethje at UFC 274.
During his media day press conference earlier this week Oliveira assured everyone that he wasn’t going too be drained during his latest weight cut.
“I’m just like a war tank right now, because I’m very strong for the fight.”
