The aforementioned clash takes place on June 29th and will be contested at welterweight (up to 77.1kg).

“I don’t think about moving up a category. I feel very good at 70kg. (lightweight). I cut weight very well. I feel very good. Speaking of that (the possibility of being McGregor and Chandler’s replacement), why not? I am here. It’s a fight that everyone wants. If someone happens to get hurt, I would be ready to fight. If it’s a fight that’s going to make a lot of money, if it’s good, why not move up? I went up, went back (to the lightweights), came back again. I’m here,” said Do Bronx (the audio can be played below).

Number two in the lightweight rankings, Charles was one of the highlights of history UFC 300. On the show, the Brazilian measured strength with Arman Tsarukyanbut ended up suffering a setback in a split decision given the promise of the category.
