UFC 269 Preview
Oliveira makes his first lightweight title defense in this fight, and he’ll be facing a formidable foe in Poirier, who has taken down the likes of Max Holloway and Conor McGregor in recent bouts. Since losing to Khabib Nurmogomedov, Poirier has won three straight fights, and he isn’t taking this bout lightly.
“I have so much respect for him,” Poirier said about Oliveira. “He kept chipping away, never lost hope, kept climbing the mountain, picking himself up, dusting himself off. It’s not easy to do. That says a lot about his character and his will to keep pushing forward. This game breaks and chews guys up and spits them out. And he’s a guy who’s resilient and stood the test of time and the lessons it took and put it all together. It’s impressive.”
For his part, Oliveira has won nine straight, recently taking down Michael Chandler. He still hasn’t quite the respect he feels he deserves, though, and winning this fight would go a long way in silencing his critics.
“There is a champion’s mentality, and I have had that for a long time,” Oliveira said. “I knew the wins would come. I knew I would get to [the top]. It’s a matter of timing and getting the right fights at the right time.”
“I love what I do and because I love this, I think I’m better at it,” Oliveira added. “And I get to prove people wrong. If people doubt me, that’s fine. It’s their opinion. But I have the final say in what happens in there.”
