Fabrício Werdum, PFL fighter:
“Obviously I support Charles (from the Bronx). He is doing very well, has a very solid career and is different. He has an excellent floor. The way he takes it to the ground, it really catches it. He relies a lot on jiu-jitsu and, on his feet, he's also very good. I really believe he will bring this belt to Brazil with a good finish”, revealed the former heavyweight champion (up to 120,2kg).
Michel Pereira, UFC athlete:
"Charles of the Bronx definitely (wins). He is a guy who is just evolving within the UFC and has shown himself to be an exceptional athlete. And, God willing, he will be champion and bring the belt to Brazil”, stated 'Paraense Voador'.
Vicente Luque, UFC welterweight fighter:
“I don't usually do this, but it will be the first fight where I will give 50% to 50%. O Michael chandler He's a training partner and he's a very tough guy. He has gas, is strong and technical both on his feet and in wrestling. On the other hand, we have the Charles of the Bronx who is flying, has a huge history in the UFC and is experiencing the best moment of his career. So, today it is really difficult to point out who will be the winner. There will be a lot of people who can dictate the pace of the fight. Standing up, Do Bronx's versatility could surprise Chandler. On the ground, if Chandler has the upper hand, he can dominate. We are the ones who win, who have the opportunity to see a great show”, said the Brazilian.
Thiago Marreta, UFC light heavyweight:
“Tough fight, but Charles (from the Bronx) is in an incredible moment. He's improved his striking a lot and (has) a jiu-jitsu that doesn't even need to be talked about. So, I think the Charles of the Bronx has slight favoritism, despite it being a very dangerous fight. I think he can find some method of finishing”, said the carioca.
Natan Schulte, PFL lightweight:
“I favor Charles (from the Bronx), because of jiu-jitsu. Everyone will say: 'But Chandler has a tough hand and it will be difficult to put him down', but I think that at the time, maybe Charles will be able to get a submission. I favor Charles in this fight. We are seeing how he has improved in his standing and I believe he will be the next champion of the category, now that Khabib (Nurmagomedov) has left the belt”, concluded the fighter.
