Charles Oliveira may not be ready to face Islam Makhachev in October

Charles Oliveira's UFC 289 victory over Beneil Dariush solidifed his spot as the top contender in the lightweight division. While many assumed that a rematch with Islam Makhachev would occur at UFC 294, 'Do Bronx' recently suggested that he may not be ready to fight in October. Aaron Bronsteter of TSN Sports took to Twitter, stating:

"Just spoke with Charles Oliveira who says that he will not be ready to face Islam Makhachev in October. He is hoping to face him in November or December and is willing to wait for the opportunity. He assured me that he will be champion again."

Check out Aaron Bronsteter's tweet and interview with Charles Oliveira below:

Makhachev's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, responded to the tweet, assuring that the lightweight champion will defend his belt at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, stating:

"Islam will fight in Abu Dhabi"

Check out Ali Abdelaziz's tweet below:

While it is unclear who Makhachev will face, a rematch with featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski remains a possibility. He could also face the winner of the UFC 291 main event between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
