Who is the best lightweight fighter of all time?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It also can’t hold a candle to longtime veteran Charles Oliveira.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe all have our moments and times.\u201d The former lightweight champion said this in an interview with UFC on Paramount. "You’re talking about Khabib, who basically walked away from the game undefeated. Islam is making history as a two-division champion. But if you look at my resume, my name, my wins, my record, what I’ve been through, I believe my resume is the best.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 36-year-old Brazilian holds the records for most finishes (21), most submissions (17) and total fight night bonuses (21) in UFC history. He plans to add to those numbers when he rematches Max Holloway for the "BMF” belt on this weekend’s UFC 326 fight card in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After that, "Do Bronxs” wants to play stadium shows in Brazil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said it before and I said it after our last fight: Brazil deserves it,\u201d Oliveira said at UFC 326 media day. "It’s time for us to do it. It’s time to make it happen in the stadium. Brazil deserves it. The Brazilian people deserve it. Close the stadium, put the Octagon in the middle and we’ll do what we can to fill the stadium to capacity. Listen \u2014 Dana, Hunter, Sean (Shelby), get it all together. The Brazilians deserve it and we’re going to make it beautiful.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A win over Holloway would certainly help his cause.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
