Later tonight, 'El Matador' will fight with 'Do Bronxs' on UFC 317 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Chael Sonnen says that Ilia Topuria has not been sacrificed enough to beat Charles Oliveira
Chael Sonen is worried that making lightweight has been too easy for Ilia Topuria.
With that in mind, he expects Charles Oliveira to overwhelm the Power Puncher.
In a video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel, Sonen said: “Size matters, and my concern about Ilia's interview is that he continues to talk about how much he enjoys 155 pounds.
“Suffering is a large part of this game.” Did I sacrifice more than that guy? Do I earn to win? “He has rejected part of the suffering and part of the sacrifice, and I think Charles will wear him.
“I think this concept to save Charles is new, but it is very difficult to do. I have seen people coming very close, I have seen Charles down and I just think Charles is going to walk through that fire.
“I take Charles Oliveira through TKO.”
