Flyweight champ Alexandre Pantoja Urges Charles Oliveira to Move Up to Welterweight

Pantoja suggested Oliveira leave the 155 lbs division for 170, warning his cuts are draining him. “When you cut too much weight… You make yourself vulnerable. Maybe Charles is too heavy for that division,” he said. Oliveira, a former champion, recently lost by knockout to Topuria in June. He will look to bounce back at UFC Brazil in October.
