Former UFC lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira, will headline the upcoming UFC Rio MMA event<\/a> on Sat. night (Oct. 11) at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, despite his initial hesitancy<\/a>. The always-dangerous \u201cDo Bronx\u201d holds multiple UFC records including most submissions (16), most finishes (20), and most post-fight performance bonuses (20).<\/p>\n

UFC Rio opponent<\/a>, Mateusz Gamrot, is going to \u201ctake him down\u201d and \u201cscramble with him\u201d anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a grappler, I want to take down everybody in my fight, so this is going to be the same with Charles,\u201d Gamrot told MMA Fighting<\/a> ahead of this weekend\u2019s five-round main event on ESPN+<\/a> (order it here<\/a>). \u201cWe step in the cage, but I want to take him down and want to scramble with him in the ground. My previous opponent always tried to stand up from the ground, like ground was fire for my previous opponent, so I never can show my really performance in the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I think Charles wants to fight me on the ground, in the guard, he wants to try to submit me, maybe choke me, maybe guillotine, maybe take the back,\u201d Gamrot continued. \u201cHe\u2019s great from this position. I think this time I show my epic performance from the ground, like versus [Arman] Tsarukyan. This was non-stop action, non-stop scramble because Tsarukyan was a wrestler as well and he don\u2019t scare my wrestling. I expect the same against Charles. This is gonna be epic fight in the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or another stripe on Oliveira\u2019s belt.<\/p>\n
