“I believe that if Charles fights like in his last fight, he will pass over Topuria,” Silva told AgFight. “Anyway, I'm available to help him with his sparring. I know exactly how to imitate Topuria, even his facial expressions.”
The statement was a surprise for Brazilian MMA community after Fighting Nerds leader Pablo Sucupira compared their rivalry with Chute Boxe to the Brazilian Top Team-Chute Boxe battles of the Pride Fighting Championships era following Ian Garry’s recent victory over Carlos Prates.
UFC 317 takes place on June 28 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In addition to the Topuria vs. Oliveira headliner, Alexandre Pantoja will defend his flyweight belt against Kai Kara-France in the evening’s co-main event.
