Charles Oliveira Not Happy About Cage-Hopping Suspension From UFC 210

Charles Oliveira spoke with MMAjunkie about his sixty-day suspension by the NYSAC over his cage-hopping following his win at UFC 210. Some highlights are below:

On his reaction to the suspension: “I was super sad, actually. After a fight like that, of how it unfolded and how I won – and, man, I jumped there. It was a matter of fraction of seconds. I jumped and got right back in, practically. I jumped right next to the cage door, just to hug my cornerpeople and got back in, and the guys issued a punishment. I think there was no need for that. But what are you going to do? It happens.”

On not letting it disrupt his plans: “It’s something new to learn: not to jump out of the cage, regardless of it being quick, or just a little bit. It’s not going to interfere in anything, hopefully. God knows all things, as it’s always been in my life. But I’m ready. When the UFC wants me to fight, I’ll be ready.”
