Oliveira was dominant throughout the bout, winning the first four rounds with relative ease. While Chandler came alive early in the fifth round of the bout, he was unable to get a finish. He did, however, steal the show after carrying 'Do Bronx' on his back before slamming him to the ground multiple times.

'Iron' is set to return this weekend against Paddy Pimblett in a five-round co-main event at UFC 314. It is unclear what will come next for Oliveira. While he hopes to fight for the lightweight belt, the title picture remains crowded with Ilia Topuria, Arman Tsarukyan, and Justin Gaethje also in the mix to be the next to challenge Makhachev.

Charles Oliveira shares that he wants to fight for a title next

Charles Oliveira is among the most highly regarded fighters on the UFC roster.

The former lightweight champion recently revealed that he is focused on fighting for the title next during a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, stating:

"Again, to me, it all comes down to seeking the title. If it's not Islam [Makhachev], maybe BMF. There's a lot of talk about [Dustin] Poirier fighting somebody else, Islam going up. I don't know, I can't concern myself with all these things. All I've got to do is prepare myself and be ready when it comes the time."
