Charles Oliveira is gearing up for a significant showdown at UFC Rio, scheduled for October 11, 2025. He will face Mateusz Gamrot, who stepped in as a late replacement for this main event. The fight will take place at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Oliveira’s Confidence Ahead of UFC Rio
Oliveira exudes confidence heading into the match. He believes the bout won’t last beyond the first round. In a recent interview, he stated, “The difference is that he comes from a jiu-jitsu background, while I’m a complete fighter.”
He emphasized, “I won’t alter my ‘Chute Boxe’ style. I’ll remain aggressive and look for opportunities to finish the fight. If he manages to hit me, I’ll respond with a knockout.” Oliveira acknowledged Gamrot’s grappling skills but highlighted that he is prepared for both striking and ground combat.
Aiming for Future Title Opportunities
Beyond this fight, Oliveira has lofty ambitions. He expressed his desire to contend for either the BMF title or his weight division’s championship. “Winning this fight will set me up for a shot at a title,” he remarked.
