Dhiego Lima, the coach of former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, revealed his ward's plans for the future.
Dhiego Lima
Charles deserves to face the winner of the Islam Makhachev мы Alex Volkanovski title fight. Our priority isn't revenge, but getting the belt back. If Makhachev and Oliveira meet again in the octagon, the result will be different. I'm sure their rematch will happen - it happens a lot in the lightweight division.
We would remind you that Charles Oliveira lost to Islam Makhachev by a chokehold in the second round at UFC 280, which took place in October this year. In May 2022, he fought Justin Gaethje at UFC 274. That fight ended with Oliveira winning by submission (rear choke) in the first round. In December 2021, at UFC 269, Charles defeated Dustin Poirier by third round choke. The 33-year-old Oliveira has 33 wins and nine losses under his belt.
