‘The UFC is not to blame’ — Charles Oliveira clears air on weigh-in controversy

Should Charles Oliveira have been stripped of the lightweight title after missing weight by half a pound at the UFC 274 weigh-ins?

Some say yes while others feel that the punishment didn’t fit the crime and that the Brazilian got ‘screwed’ by the UFC.

Whichever side of the debate you fall on, though, ‘Do Bronx’ wants to make it clear that the UFC wasn’t to blame.

UFC official Marc Ratner believes Oliveira’s hotel scale may have been tampered with and, if that’s the case, Oliveira believes the Arizona Athletic Commission may have been at fault.
