Pettis and Oliveira fought in 2016 at UFC on FOX 21 with 'Showtime' emerging victorious via third-round submission. Pettis was a former UFC lightweight champion heading into the clash. However, their fight took place in the featherweight division. Oliveira had a rocky run early in his UFC career. That said, the Brazilian has managed to out together an 11-fight winning streak and has also managed to capture the UFC lightweight gold. While speaking to BJPENN.com, Pettis expressed his views on Charles Oliveira as he said: "I think he was good. His striking was a lot better than I expected. His jiu-jitsu was some of the best that UFC has ever seen. But to see what he is doing right now is amazing bro. "He has found his rhythm, he's found his groove. He's probably even surprised he got to that spot. In MMA, it's different bro. It's not like boxing, you lose one fight you're out." The 35-year-old further pointed out that it takes some time in MMA to put together all aspects of his game. Then, a fighter has to gain confidence to showcase his skills inside the octagon. "In MMA it takes some time to put it all together. Then once you find it, you gotta get the confidence to match it. And then take it as far as you can go with it. And to see what he is doing right now is pretty amazing."
