Charles Oliveira admits to making mistakes in his fight against Ilia Topuria.
Oliveira fought Topuria for the vacant lightweight strap at UFC 317 this past June. Topuria knocked “do Bronx” out cold midway through the opening round. Oliveira believes it was “stupid” of him to trade in the pocket against Topuria. Oliveira has since bounced back with a submission win over Mateusz Gamrot in front of a home crowd at UFC Rio last month. Oliveira (36-11) believes he should have implemented the same strategy against Topuria that he did against Gamrot.
