Charles Oliveira's UFC title quest could see him face a familiar foe next
Charles Oliveira has been adamant about recapturing the coveted UFC lightweight title from his former opponent and reigning UFC lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev. 'Do Bronx' lost to Makhachev via second-round submission in October 2022. However, Oliveira followed that up with a dominant first-round TKO victory over Beneil Dariush in June of this year.
In the aftermath of Charles Oliveira's win against Beneil Dariush, many believed he could face Islam Makhachev in a rematch for the title at UFC 294 on October 21st, 2023, in Abu Dhabi. Oliveira recently reiterated that he's open to a rematch against Makhachev for the lightweight belt.
Nevertheless, as reported by TSN's Aaron Bronsteter, Oliveira targets a return no sooner than November/December 2023. Therefore, Makhachev could fight another opponent at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi this October. All things considered, it's believed that Oliveira could potentially fight the winner of Makhachev's UFC 294 fight for the title in early 2024.
