Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira once again commented on his loss to Spanish-Georgian Ilia Topuria at UFC 317.
Charles Oliveira, quoted by Bloody Elbow
I’ve been in the UFC for 15 years. I’d never been knocked out before — this was the first time. But I don’t need anyone to pick me up. It’s up to me. So, I’ve already gotten back up, and I’m moving forward. Like I said, that night is over. Now, it’s about the next one.
Oliveira and Topuria met in the main event of UFC 317 on June 29 in Las Vegas. Topuria won by first-round knockout and claimed the vacant lightweight title. Topuria’s record is now 17-0. Oliveira’s record stands at 35 wins and 11 losses, with one fight ruled a no contest.
