Former UFC champion Charles Oliveira has laid out his two-fight plan for this year which involves a rematch with Islam Makhachev.
Oliveira, 33, lost his lightweight title when he was submitted by Makhachev at UFC 280 last October. Makhachev will make the first defence of his belt against featherweight titleholder Alexander Volkanovski next month as the Australian looks to become a two-weight champion.
'Do Bronx' turned down a spot on the UFC 283 pay-per-view event which took place in his native Brazil this past weekend as he wanted more time to prepare for his next fight. The 33-year-old insists he wouldn't change his approach for a second fight with Makhachev and credits a "bad night" for his loss to the Russian.
