Almost every professional fighter dreads the idea of facing a harsh weight cut before their fights. Most fighters manage to reach the required weight limit. Yet there are a few times when minor errors could lead to missing the weight. Former UFC champion Charles Oliveira was stripped of his title due to missing weight during his bout against Justin Gaethje. However, the same won’t be the case as heads into UFC 289.

Charles Oliveira will have a tough time dealing with lightweight fighter Beneil Dariush when they meet in the octagon at UFC 289. Beneil is riding on an eight-fight win streak and coming off a dominant win against Tony Ferguson. However, Before fighting Dariush, Oliveira had to go through a difficult weight cut to make 155 lbs. Oliveira walks around 185 lbs when he is not going against the elite lightweights in UFC. To shed 30lbs of weight before a fight is not a meagre task and Oliveira has already failed once in the past.

However, this time around Charles Oliveira will have some extra support from his family. In the latest episode of UFC’s Embedded vlog series, Do Bronx revealed that his parents will be fasting with him for his weight cut. “ For those who don’t know my mom and dad are also fasting. They are not eating that’s f****crazy. I told them to eat but they say no. They want to do it with me,” said Charles in the vlog series.

Charles Oliveira is all ready to go head-to-head with Beneil Dariush at UFC 289. With very less time remaining for the bout, fans are excited to witness who gets it done. Both Dariush and Oliveira have stated that a win would set them up for a title shot against Islam Makhachev. However, President Dana is not so sure about that.

Although Dana White hasn’t promised anything, he admitted that the winner of Beneil vs Oliveira would most likely face Islam Makhachev.” I have no idea, we’ll see how the fight goes on Saturday but yeah, it obviously makes a lot of sense. Right here, right now, makes a lot of sense. We’ll see what happens,” said Dana White. The whole confusion for the title shot contender, arises due to Dustin Poirier vs Justin Gaethje 2 taking place at UFC 291. The winner of the BMF title between the two fighters would also have a great chance of fighting Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title.

Regardless of the title shot Beneil Dariush is only focused only on dealing with Charles Oliveira. According to Dariush, the UFC executives have promised him the next title shot if he manages to defeat Charles Oliveira. Both Oliveira and Dariush are fired up for their exchange and fans can be sure to expect a spectacle.
