Given its talent, many will agree that the UFC’s Lightweight division is the most exciting. Oliveira became the champion after beating Michael Chandler in the second round of their fight a few years back. He later lost his title to the Dagestani trailblazer Islam Makhachev in the second round by submission. Oliveira is one of the most fan-favorite fighters in the company and would be willing to get closer to the title with a win over Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 300.
Charles Oliveria recently opened up on his possible title hopes after the UFC 300.
Charles Oliveira opens up on his title hopes ahead of UFC 300
Former champion Charles Oliveira made it clear in the pre-fight press conference that he wants to reclaim his lost title in the near future. Oliveira said,
Dana even said it that I’m next in line. Then I got injured. Then Islam allegedly is injured as well. A lot of people are going to say things. Let’s wait. Let’s take one thing at a time.
Oliveira made it clear that he wants to take on Arman and get his hand raised to fight for the title next. Oliveira said he was in line to fight for the title and got injured last year. He claimed that with patience he might be able to get his mojo back and reclaim the lightweight throne in the UFC. He will want to become a bit more careful heading into the fight week, as last year, this time he got injured.
Charles Oliveira is coming off an impressive victory over Beneil Dariush with a knockout in the very first round in the company. He will be hoping for a similar result later this week. Oliveira is set to fight an opponent on an impressive three-fight win streak. The situation at the top of the lightweight is pretty interesting. With Islam at the top, seeing who challenges the Russian for his UFC gold after UFC 300 will be interesting.
