"I spoke with Parrumpa at the weigh-in. Everyone sells their fight differently. I, Charles, don't know how to pick up my phone and take a video or ask someone to film me. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to sell the fight that way. You want Charles to sell the fight? Lock the cage, and I'll come out fighting. I'll win or I'll lose, walking forward. That's the truth I know how to do. Moicano is selling it differently. I wasn't mad at him, nor was I sad. He was the one who asked for the fight. I don't know if the UFC called him. That's what I got. I can't say if that's what really happened, but he went back there and made another joke, joking around. So, he's just living on the hype. That's right, it's his job, everyone is different, but honestly, he knows that if he came, it would be a problem for him," said the athlete.
