Charles Oliveira Exudes Confidence Ahead of UFC Rio Main Event Against Mateusz Gamrot
As the highly anticipated UFC Rio main event approaches, Charles Oliveira showcases unwavering confidence in his matchup against late replacement Mateusz Gamrot this weekend, October 11, 2025, at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In an exclusive interview with Emegypt, Oliveira expressed his belief that this fight will not see the second round.
Oliveira’s Game Plan for UFC Rio Fight
Oliveira declared, “I don’t think it will even go past the first round.” He emphasized the differences between himself and Gamrot, who primarily comes from a jiu-jitsu background. “I’m a complete fighter,” Oliveira noted. He intends to stick with his ‘Chute Boxe’ fighting style, relentlessly pursuing his opponent with ferocity.
“I’ll keep moving forward, hunting the whole time,” he said. “If he gives me an opening, I’ll finish. If he tags me, I’ll knock him out.” Oliveira acknowledges Gamrot’s reliance on grappling, indicating that while his opponent may feel comfortable on the ground, he is prepared for any scenario.
Oliveira’s Ambitions Post-UFC Rio
Looking ahead, Oliveira has significant aspirations following his bout in Rio. “Winning this fight and fighting for the title, whether it’s BMF or the title of the division,” he explained in an interview with Shak MMA. He views this fight as a critical step toward reclaiming championship status in the UFC.

A Possible Showdown with Max Holloway
Moreover, Oliveira is eager for a potential showdown against Max Holloway, who is currently sidelined due to a hand injury. “Everyone would love to see the Max [Holloway] fight,” he remarked, indicating that he is ready to take on the former champion after his upcoming fight. With Holloway expected to return in 2026, the timeline for a matchup against Oliveira could align perfectly.
