Jean Silva has stepped up to offer his assistance to Charles Oliveira as he prepares for a significant bout against Ilia Topuria at UFC 317. Silva believes that if Oliveira performs like he did in his previous match, he will succeed in overcoming Topuria. Additionally, Silva claims to have the capability to mimic Topuria's fighting style and expressions to better prepare Oliveira. The offer and comparisons to historical rivalries in Brazilian MMA have garnered attention within the community, potentially impacting Oliveira's preparation strategy.
"I believe that if Charles fights like in his last fight, he will pass over Topuria," Silva told AgFight. "Anyway, I'm available to help him with his sparring. I know exactly how to imitate Topuria, even his facial expressions."
The statement was a surprise for Brazilian MMA community after Fighting Nerds leader Pablo Sucupira compared their rivalry with Chute Boxe to the Brazilian Top Team-Chute Boxe battles of the Pride Fighting Championships era following Ian Garry's recent victory over Carlos Prates.
