Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira plans to have two fights this year, one of which will be a rematch with Islam Makhachev.
“We have to aim high for ourselves,” the Brazilian said when answering questions from fans in Rio de Janeiro. “Perhaps in May I will fight in the USA, and at the end of the year I will fight in Brazil, and who knows, maybe again for the championship belt. It would be great”
“With all due respect, I had ten bad minutes on a bad evening, and I would not change anything for the duel with Islam Makhachev. This fight will take place again – you can be sure we will do it. I will fight in April or May, it doesn’t matter who, and if the Lord blesses me with a victory, before the end of the year I will have a rematch with Islam Makhachev.”
“I was offered to fight at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro, and if I didn’t think with my head, but with my heart, I would definitely become part of this card. After a little thought, I decided that it was better to fight in May, and maybe at the end of the year in Sao Paulo for the title. Let’s do that”
A few days earlier, Charles Oliveira did not rule out that his next opponent could be Benil Dariush, who occupies the fourth line in the UFC lightweight rankings.
