Andy Ogle isn't bothered by the fact that he will have his next fight, against Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira, in his opponent's home country. The Englishman will have his first fight outside the United Kingdom this Saturday (15), at UFC Fight Night 36, in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina.

Ogle, who is coming off a defeat to Cole Miller in October 2013, he recognized that fighting at home can bring advantages, but if this is not managed correctly, it can turn into pressure.

“Oliveira is the home boy, so fighting in his home country could be an advantage. He won't need to travel, adapt to the climate and the fans can be an extra boost. However, this can also bring pressure, so there are advantages and disadvantages”, commented the fighter, in an interview with the English newspaper “Daily Mirror”.

The Englishman was satisfied with the results of his training. “I trained almost every day for this fight, except for Sundays, when I rested. My journey leading up to this fight was training, sleeping, training again. This is my life before any fight,” he pointed out.

the fight between Charles of the Bronx and Andy Ogle is part of the main card of UFC Fight Night 36. In the most important fight of the night, Lyoto Machida seeks his second middleweight victory against Gegard Mousasi.
