For Oliveira, this marks his first title defense since winning the vacant belt over Michael Chandler back at UFC 262 in May, while for Poirier he is getting this title shot following back-to-back stoppage wins over Conor McGregor. It&#8217;s expected to be an awesome matchup for as long as it lasts, but Oliveira is confident he will prevail.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2021\/11\/14\/22733086\/charles-oliveira-way-more-weapons-dustin-poirier-what-happens-take-him-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com&#8217;s Guilherme Cruz<\/a>, Oliveira explained why he is such a bad matchup for Poirier, suggesting that &#8220;Do Bronx&#8221; has more weapons than &#8220;The Diamond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn (December) 11, we\u2019ll be there to prove who\u2019s best and who\u2019s not the best. There\u2019s not much to say. We\u2019ll only know when we face each other. I trust myself, I believe myself. I think I have way more weapons than him. All you guys that think (he\u2019s No. 1), watch his last fight and watch my last fight, see what I\u2019m good at and what he\u2019s good at, and match it all up to see what happens,&#8221; Oliveira said. \u201cStrikers took him down way too easily, and you know what happens if I take him down. If he trades on the feet with me, you know I\u2019m hitting hard, brother. It will be fire on the 11th. I have firepower in my hands, I have my jiu-jitsu. I respect him a lot, but I want to remain champion, I want to keep this belt here. I couldn\u2019t care less what others say or criticize. It\u2019s about time I take all that inside my head and look at what people say on Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Charles Oliveira that he has more weapons than Dustin Poirier?
