SAO PAULO – Charles Oliveira has shared the octagon with many of the best throughout his more than eight-year UFC career. Whether it’s a championship-caliber foe or a complete unknown, he said he takes them all seriously. That mindset has allowed Oliveira (23-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC) to keep focused going into Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 137 bout against Christos Giagos (15-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC), who is far less know the majority of the Brazilian’s opponents in recent years. Oliveira is a sizable betting favorite going into the lightweight matchup, but he said he’s approaching the bout with the same ferocity as any other.
