Dos Anjos: Fighters get ‘desperate’ against Charles Oliveira, but I’d ‘punish him’ on the ground

Since 2018, Charles Oliveira has been able to handle and even dominate the top contenders thrown his way. “Do Bronx” faced the likes of Tony Ferguson, Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, and most recently, Justin Gaethje, all of whom he either finished or outclassed.

But for fellow ex-champion Rafael dos Anjos, the problem isn’t so much on what Oliveira brings to the table. In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, RDA says he has what it takes to dole out punishment if he gets the chance.

“I think guys knock him down, and they run away from his guard,” he said.
