Team Charles Oliveira announces the return date

The last time we saw Charles Oliveira in Octagon, he was against Michael Chandler at UFC 309. He won over a unanimous decision and is ready to return a blockbuster soon. This was suggested by his coach Diego Lima and so does the team have some goals for translating 2025? You are looking for a big fight, and rightly so. After all, the Brazilian confronted names such as Chandler, Arman Tsarukyan, Enture Dariush, Islam Makhachev and Justin Gaethje in his last five fights.

However, there is a problem with which he could be faced. You see, according to Gaethje's spectacular performance at UFC 313, his stock is leapp -up and makes it a likely title contender. In a similar way, Oliveira is looking for another GO in Makhachev. To see how things change in the light division, “The Highlight” and “Do Bronx” can fulfill again. What do Oliveira and his team want to get a big return?

Oliveira's coach Diego Lima said in a conversation with reporter Alvaro Colmenero: “Charles wants an international fighter week. He wants to fight twice this year. The fights on June 28 would give him space to fight again at the end of the year. “ If the fighter wants to compete twice this year, he will soon have to fight to place both events comfortably.

Lima continued: “He told me he wanted to fight in June, but if we didn't have the BMF or the title, I wouldn't know if we would fight? Perhaps Justin Gaethje, who has run a great fight and sold a lot or a new fight with Dustin Poirier, who sells a lot. Charles has to fight against fighters who are big. “

The message is clear: Oliveira does not enter the cage unless the missions are high. A comeback fight against Gaethje or Poirier would be perfect if you consider that he holds the previous victories against both fighters. At UFC 269 he successfully submitted “The Diamond” over a back naked choke, and with Gaethje at UFC 274. Another victory against one of these names would certainly help its share. In addition, it will attract a lot of attention and prove to be a great struggle.

But Charles Oliveira's goals go beyond another big fight. He wants to recapture his place in the lightweight category. Ilia Topuria's most recent shift at £ 155 contributes to the drama. The undefeated champion in spring weight has made it clear that it is looking for the biggest name and fits 'Do Bronx' for this description. If the fighter from the Favelas cannot secure a fight against Gaethje or 'The Diamond', the UFC may bring Ilia Topuria to the mix. Since so many changing pieces in the lightweight department, the potential comeback of the Brazilian at UFC 317 could be a turning point in the title race.

However, fans have already selected their picks for Oliveira's big fight. What do you say?

The fans call their best selection for a fight against Charles Oliveira!

As soon as Charles Oliveira's news had a big fight on the Internet, the fans ensured that their voices were loud when they commented on the names of their selection. One of the top names that obviously came to the top was Ilia Topuria. Finally, 'El Matador' came to the lightweight department to look for a new challenge. In view of the fact that he has not yet combated his first fight in the new weight class, he would need a challenge before he can go against Islam Makhachev for the title one to one. So who is it better than Charles Oliveira? Many fans made their thoughts known that it was 'El Matador' against 'Do Bronx' they want. You wrote:

  • “We want Topuria against Charles.”
  • “Ilia has to start in this department at some point. UFC will use Charles. “

But hey, it doesn't end there. Many fans were also dressed by Max Holloway. The increasing interest of the former feather weight champion for easy fights made him an obvious choice, with the fans that he faces himself with Oliveira. Interestingly, 'Selige' and Oliveira in Octagon in the UFC Fight Night 74 – Holloway against Oliveira (2015) faced each other. The result? The Brazilian lost over TKO.

  • “Max vs. Charles 2 Absolute Classic; IDK that wins; I would lean Max, but I can easily see Charles. “
  • “I would much rather see Max against Charles than Max against Dustin.”

Another name was thrown around as a potential fight under the comments. It was Arman Tsarukyan. After his early withdrawal from UFC 311 due to an injury, Tsarukyan tried to regain his No. 1 candidate position, and many believe that a retirement with Oliveira makes the most sense. The last time they fought (UFC 300), Oliveira looked like a defeat by shared decision. In view of the fact that it was a close struggle, a reservance would be exciting.

  • “Arman Rematch only makes sense … but this time five laps.”
