Many are favoring Ilia Topuria in his upcoming matchup against Charles Oliveira at UFC 317. However, Oliveira vows to prove everyone wrong.

''Dude, you know it doesn't matter what they're going to say. For me, it doesn't matter bro...I think I'm a problem for him or anyone who's going to fight me. I've got firepower in my hands and incredible jiu-jitsu... Many of them said a lot of things, and you know what happened in the end. My hand was raised, so it doesn't make any difference."
