Charles Oliveira Walk Around Weight: How Many Pounds Does the Ex-UFC Champ Cut

UFC 300 is just a few hours away, and the fans are all geared up for the event. The much-awaited event will take place at T-Mobile Arena on April 13. The fight card features some of the biggest names in the promotion. However, the most talked-about fight is between Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan.

The Brazilian is one of the most exciting fighters in the division and is currently on a winning run. However, he is on a mission to regain his lost belt. Before his much-awaited fight, let us inspect his walk-around weight.

A closer look at Charles Oliveira’s weight before his UFC 300 fight

Charles Oliveira is one of the best-conditioned athletes in the UFC at the moment. His movement inside the Octagon and speed are second to none. ‘Do Bronxs’ made his debut in the lightweight division in 2010 but has also competed in the featherweight division as well. His move to 145 pounds backfired, as he failed to make weight on multiple occasions there. He finally shifted to the 155-pound division in 2017 and has since stayed there. Oliviera typically weighs between 183 and 185 pounds before his fights.

His coach, Diego Lima, mentioned that he weighs between 176 and 180 pounds when he’s off camp. The Brazilian has no trouble cutting off the extra 25 pounds, as revealed by his coach. However, before his UFC 274 fight, the former champion had trouble losing half a pound. He weighed in at 155.5 pounds before his fight against Justin Gaethje. Despite getting two more opportunities, he failed to make the weight. As a result, he was stripped of the lightweight title. However, the former champion won the fight against ‘The Highlight’ and asserted his dominance as a complete fighter.

The battle between Tsarukyan and Oliveira has gathered a lot of attention from the fans. Both fighters are in their prime, and the fight promises to be a blockbuster. A win for either would take them close to the lightweight title. Before their much-awaited clash, 27-year-old Tsarukyan made some serious claims in a recent interview.

Arman Tsarukyan is confident of knocking out Oliveira in the first round

Arman Tsarukyan is one of the rising stars in the lightweight division. His performance inside the Octagon has captured the attention of many experts. The 27-year-old, in his last fight, knocked out UFC veteran Beneil Dariush and guaranteed himself a spot at UFC 300. One of his biggest advantages is his mental resilience, which was very evident in a recent fan Q&A session. Despite getting booed by the audience, he kept his composure and even predicted the fight’s outcome.

He carried the same confidence in a recent interview and surprised the fans with his prediction. While speaking to Daniel Cormier and Chris Weidman, he made it clear that he was unfazed by the Brazilian’s ground game. The Georgia native said, “First two rounds, it’s almost impossible to choke high-level fighters… I believe that I can do that in the first round, and I want to show everybody I’m the best here. My goal is to go there and knock him out in the first round to show everybody I deserve that title fight.”

Oliveira is a former champion and knocking him out will be a tough ask. Do you think the 27-year-old can knock him out? Let us know in the comments below.
