Charles Oliveira Fires Back at Ilia Topuria’s “Pillow” Taunt Before Huge UFC 317 Fight: “You’ve Seen This Soap Opera Before”

UFC star Charles Oliveira has hit back at Ilia Topuria for telling him to “bring the pillow” to their upcoming UFC 317 showdown.

As we know, Charles Oliveira is one of the best lightweights of his generation and that much is an understatement. He has achieved some incredible things throughout the course of his career and now, he is set to try and claim the UFC lightweight championship for the second time in his career when he battles Ilia Topuria – who is making the move up from featherweight.

Right now, it’s tough to say who is going to pick up the win – although, many pundits are of the belief that if Ilia Topuria can land cleanly on Charles Oliviera, it could be curtains for ‘Do Bronx’.
