Oliveira was initially slated to take on Islam Makhachev for the title at UFC 294, however, the Brazilian was forced to pull out because of an injury. He will now take on surging contender Arman Tsarukyan, who, like Oliveira, is also chasing a rematch with reigning 155-pound king Makhachev.
Dustin Poirier was last seen in action against Justin Gaethje at UFC 295, where he suffered a head-kick knockout loss. The American's next opponent is French star Benoit Saint-Denis, who is on a five-fight winning streak.
