Charles Oliveira

Diego Lopes will challenge Charles Oliveira for the BMF title on Dec. 12, headlining UFC's final numbered card of the year in Las Vegas. Oliveira won the belt in March with a dominant performance against Max Holloway. Lopes said he hopes Oliveira comes in looking for a war, adding: "Let's see who goes down first."

The other day I was asked to put together a UFC 335 concept card, so I went ahead and built one. I put a lot of time into the matchmaking, fight order, and overall layout, trying to make a card that’s both realistic and something fans would actually want to see. Matchups like, Pasley vs. Tafa and Barber vs. Judice are two confirmed matchups on this card and I don’t think they’d put Barber lower than prelims. Everything else is my own matchmaking, built around fights I think would make sense for the event. I tried to find a good balance between established names, rising prospects, and exciting matchups, while keeping the prelims and early prelims realistic rather than stacking every big fight on the main card. Obviously, this isn’t an official UFC 335 lineup, just my take on how the event could look. Put a lot of work into this one, so let me know what you think. What fights would you keep, and what would you change? #ufc #mma #charlesoliveira #alexpereira #ufc335

Pereira

During his homecoming main event in Rio de Janeiro, Charles Oliveira spotted former Ballon d'Or winner Kaká sitting cageside. The moment "Do Bronxs" caught Kaká in the front row, his entire focus shifted, he locked in, dominated the exchanges, and finished Mateusz Gamrot with a second-round submission to blow the roof off the arena. Backstage after the fight, the two shared an embrace, with Kaká asking Oliveira for a photo to celebrate the victory 🇧🇷 ⚽

Pereira

Dustin Poirier is one of the UFC's most respected former champions, and his calf kick weaponization helped reshape lightweight striking. Nicknamed The Diamond, Poirier didn't invent the low roundhouse aimed at the meaty lower leg, but weaponized it with relentless volume and timing, most famously using it to shut down Conor McGregor's movement en route to a second-round TKO at UFC 257 in 2021. Poirier throws the kick early and often, particularly against southpaws whose lead leg sits exposed, and his success sparked a division-wide shift, with fighters drilling calf kick counters in camp. By the time he faced Charles Oliveira at UFC 269, Oliveira's corner had studied the tape to limit it. Known for relentless pressure and a ferocious left hand, Poirier's tactical innovation remains influential. #ufc #mma #dustinpoirier #training
